Step 1
Toss potatoes with salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp oil on a sheet pan. Roast at 425°F for 15 minutes until golden and fork-tender.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chili flakes in a small bowl.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Add ribs in a single layer and cook without moving for 4 minutes until edges brown and char slightly.
Step 5
Flip ribs, pour the sauce over them, and cook 5 more minutes, occasionally spooning glaze over meat until edges caramelize.
Step 6
Toss diced tomatoes with a pinch of salt and white vinegar. Serve ribs alongside roasted potatoes and tomato salad.
