Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Ribs: Trim excess fat, pat them dry, and season generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Prepare the Marinade: Mix soy sauce, hoisin sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and optional chili flakes in a bowl.
  4. Roast the Ribs: Transfer ribs to a Dutch oven, pour marinade over them, scatter onion, cover, and roast at 275-300°F (135-150°C) for 3-4 hours.
