- Place the marinated ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet, cover with foil, and bake for 2 hours.

- Allow ribs to rest for a few minutes, then slice between the bones and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, add a dash of liquid smoke to marinade. To make the recipe healthier, use lean pork cuts and substitute brown sugar with honey. Try adding gochujang for a spicy kick. Serve with steamed rice and pickled vegetables for a complete meal.
