Sticky Asian Ribs

1.5 kg pork baby back ribs
1 cup water
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp SIDS SMOKEY GARLIC SAUCE
DRY RUB:--
2 tsp SIDS SALT & PEPPER
2 tsp shichimi togarashi (Japanese 7 spice)
SAUCE:--
¼ cup saké
¼ cup mirin
½ cup soy sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
4 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp honey
1 clove garlic, minced
1 knob ginger, grated
GARNISH:--
2 tsp toasted white sesame seeds
1 spring onion

Prepare Ribs
In a small bowl, mix together SIDS SALT & PEPPER, shichimi togarashi and all the dry rub ingredients.
Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs, pulling it down the entire length with a paper towel (because it's very slippery!). You can ask the butcher to remove it for you.
Season the ribs with the dry rub mixture on both sides.
Cover all sides with dry rub, then rub in thoroughly. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine SIDS SMOKEY GARLIC SAUCE and sauce ingredients.
Cook/simmer on low heat for next 30-40 minutes.
Turn off the heat. The sauce may be still liquid-like, but once it cools down, the sauce will get thicken further. The sauce will be roughly ⅔ cup after cool down.
Pressure Cook Ribs
Place the metal steam rack into an Instant Pot. Add water and apple cider vinegar.
Put the ribs upright on top of the rack, wrapping in a circle.
Select MANUAL setting; adjust the pressure to HIGH, and set time for 25-30 minutes (if you want the meat to fall off the bone, do 30 minutes). If you use spare ribs, set time for 30-35 minutes.
When finished cooking, natural release for 5 minutes, then quick release the air. (be careful and cover your fingers with a kitchen towel)
Broil the Ribs
Preheat the griller with a rack placed about 15 cm away from the top heating element (in the centre of the oven) for 5 minutes. When grilling, you don't control the temperature in the oven; instead, you control the distance between the griller and the surface of the food. It's similar to using hotter and cooler zones on your grill. Griller setting: LOW (232ºC), MEDIUM (260ºC), and HIGH (288ºC). I usually use MEDIUM (15 cm away) or HIGH (20 cm away).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack. Transfer the ribs from the Instant Pot to the wire rack.
Brush with the sauce on both sides of the ribs.
Place into oven and grill until the sauce is caramelized, bubbly, and brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from the oven and brush more sauce on the ribs.
To Serve
Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped spring onion. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce.
