Step 01
Preheat the oven to 275°F (140°C).
Step 02
Strain the pineapple juice from the can into a large saucepan and set aside the pineapple chunks. Add rice vinegar, vegetable oil, soy sauce, ginger, ketchup, honey, garlic, and cornstarch. Whisk together and cook over high heat for 10 minutes until the glaze thickens to the consistency of honey. Divide the glaze in half.
Step 03
Place the baby back ribs on a baking sheet, season both sides with salt and pepper, and brush with half of the glaze.
Step 04
Cover the ribs tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours, or until tender.
Step 05
Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Remove the foil.
Step 06
Add the diced red and green bell peppers to the baking sheet. Pour the reserved glaze over the peppers and toss to coat. Place the reserved pineapple on top of the ribs.
Step 07
Bake for an additional 20 minutes, until the peppers are softened.
Step 08
Slice the ribs and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve warm with a side of white rice.
