Ingredients

• 3 racks of baby back ribs
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, black pepper, honey, hoisin sauce, and ketchup to make the teriyaki marinade.
2. Place the baby back ribs in a large ziplock bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the ribs are fully coated in the marinade. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
3. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
4. Remove the ribs from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting. Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 1 hour, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade.
5. In a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Pour the remaining marinade into the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Brush the thickened teriyaki sauce onto the ribs and continue grilling for an additional 30 minutes or until the ribs are tender and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
7. Remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice the racks into individual ribs and serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions.
8. Enjoy the juicy and flavorful Teriyaki Baby Back Ribs with your favorite sides.
