Instructions:

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat

Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs and cut them into individual ribs

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade

Place the ribs in a large resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over them

Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results

Remove the ribs from the bag and discard the marinade

Grill the ribs over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, for about 20-25 minutes or until they are cooked through and have a nice char

During the last 5 minutes of grilling, baste the ribs with the remaining marinade to create a sticky glaze

Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving
