Step 1
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 seconds.
Step 3
Add ribs in a single layer and sear without moving for 3 minutes until caramelized on bottom. Flip and sear another 2 minutes.
Step 4
Stir together hoisin, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl. Pour over ribs and toss to coat.
Step 5
Reduce heat to medium and simmer 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and ribs glisten.
Step 6
Slide onto a plate, drizzle any remaining sauce on top, and scatter sesame seeds over. Serve immediately.
