1. Prepare the Ribs:
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Season the racks of ribs generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Place the ribs on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
2. Make the Honey Teriyaki Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the teriyaki sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the sauce and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
3. Coat the Ribs:
- Brush the honey teriyaki sauce generously over both sides of the ribs, ensuring they are well coated.
4. Bake the Ribs:
- Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and bake the ribs in the preheated oven for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until the meat is tender and begins to pull away from the bones.
- Remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow the ribs to brown and caramelize slightly.
5. Serve:
- Once the ribs are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Cut the ribs into individual portions and place them on a serving platter.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
6. Enjoy:
Serve your honey teriyaki ribs hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice, vegetables, or a crisp salad. Enjoy the delicious blend of sweet and savory flavors in every bite!
