Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs pork spare ribs
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 1.5 tbsp mirin (or honey)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 stalks scallions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat pork ribs dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.

  3. 3

    Working in batches if needed, sear ribs 2 minutes per side without moving. Should be golden brown.

  4. 4

    Stir miso, butter, ginger, mirin, and soy sauce in a small bowl until smooth and combined.

  5. 5

    Brush miso glaze all over the seared ribs, coating both sides evenly. Transfer skillet to broiler.

  6. 6

    Broil 3–4 minutes until glaze caramelizes and edges char. Watch carefully — don't let it burn.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot from the skillet or transfer to a plate.
