Ingredients

Scale

20 oz diced pineapple (1 can)
3 ½ lb baby back ribs (1 rack)
Salt and pepper
1 cup rice vinegar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ cup fresh ginger, grated or minced
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons honey
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and diced
2 green bell peppers, seeded and diced

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 275°F (140°C).
In a large saucepan, strain the pineapple juice and combine it with rice vinegar, vegetable oil, soy sauce, ginger, ketchup, honey, garlic, and cornstarch. Whisk until combined and cook over high heat for about 10 minutes until thickened.
Season the ribs with salt and pepper on both sides and brush half of the glaze over them.
Place the ribs on a baking sheet covered tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours.
After baking, increase the temperature to 400°F (200°C), remove the foil, and surround the ribs with diced bell peppers. Pour reserved glaze over the vegetables.
Bake for an additional 20 minutes until the peppers are softened.
Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions before serving warm alongside white rice.
