Instructions
1. Prepare the Ribs
- Remove the silver skin from the back of the ribs.

2. Make the Honey Teriyaki Sauce
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, water, and chili flakes.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or saltiness as desired.
3. Marinate the Ribs
- Place the ribs in a large ziplock bag or shallow dish.
- Pour half of the sauce over the ribs, reserving the rest for glazing.
- Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the fridge for maximum flavor.
4. Cook the Ribs
Oven Method:
- Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).
- Place ribs on a lined baking tray or in a roasting pan. Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake for 1.5 hours, until tender.
Grill Method:
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Wrap ribs in foil and grill indirectly for 1–1.5 hours until tender.
5. Glaze and Finish
- Remove foil and brush ribs with the reserved honey teriyaki sauce.
- Increase oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) or set grill to direct heat.
- Roast or grill for 10–15 minutes, brushing halfway through, until caramelized and sticky.
6. Serve
- Slice between the bones.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
- Serve with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Tips for Perfect Honey Teriyaki Ribs
- Low and slow: Cooking at a lower temperature first makes ribs tender without drying them out.
- Caramelize at the end: The last 10–15 minutes of high heat create a beautiful sticky glaze.
- Optional extra flavor: Sprinkle with a little crushed red pepper or add a splash of sake to the marinade.
