Step 1
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Working in batches, sear ribs until golden brown on both sides, 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, and rice vinegar.
Step 5
Return ribs to skillet and toss to coat. Simmer uncovered for 6–8 minutes until glaze darkens and edges char slightly.
Step 6
Serve ribs hot alongside yellow rice, sliced cucumber, tomato, and lettuce on the side.
