Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, black pepper, and chili flakes. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Ribs

    Place the baby back ribs in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals for direct heat.

  4. 4

    Grill the Ribs

    Remove the ribs from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the ribs on the grill bone-side down. Cook for about 15 minutes, then flip and grill for another 15 minutes, or until the meat is tender and has a nice char.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Cut into individual ribs and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
