Step 1
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Working in batches, sear ribs 2 minutes per side without moving until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add garlic and ginger to the same skillet, cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in soy sauce and brown sugar until sugar dissolves. Return ribs to pan and coat generously.
Step 6
Cook uncovered over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes, turning ribs once, until glaze darkens and caramelizes.
