Step 1
Stir soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and ginger together in a small bowl until sugar dissolves.
Step 2
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Sear ribs in batches without moving, 2–3 minutes per side until edges are golden and charred.
Step 4
Pour glaze over ribs and stir to coat evenly. Cook 2 minutes, tossing gently, until syrupy and tacky.
Step 5
Push ribs to the side. Add onion halves cut-side down and sear 3–4 minutes until charred and soft.
Step 6
Warm mashed potatoes in the microwave or separately. Plate potatoes, top with glazed ribs and crispy onions.
