Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork spare ribs, cut into 1 ½-2 inch pieces
- 1 1-inch piece ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon minced ginger
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce

honey-soy glaze
- ⅔ cup braising liquid
- ¼ cup honey
garnishes

Instructions
- Rinse rib pieces under cold water and place in a large pot. Fill with water and add ginger. Place pot over high heat and boil for 30 minutes, skimming the fat from the surface as it forms.
- Drain and rinse rib pieces in cold water for a second time, removing any excess fat, debris and ginger.
- Place a large Dutch oven, or heavy bottom pot over medium-high heat and add oil. Add ribs and season with salt and pepper. Brown for about 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients to the pot and stir together.
- Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover.
- Simmer mixture for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender.
- Scoop ⅔ cup of the sauce into a small pot (skimming off any excess fat) and stir in honey. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until mixture has reduced by ⅓. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
- Brush glaze over rib pieces and serve over white or brown rice. Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve.
