  • Remove silverskin from back of ribs by sliding the pointed end of a meat thermometer under skin and pulling up. Pat ribs dry with paper towels and cut into individual ribs.
  • Mix soy sauce, sake, and honey together in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Sear ribs in batches until browned and they have a nice crust, about 3 minutes per side. Remove ribs to a plate.
  • Drain Dutch oven of any excess oil. Carefully pour soy sauce mixture into the pot and scrape bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula to release any stuck-on bits. Add ribs to the pot with liquid and increase heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil. Cover tightly and remove from heat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until ribs are tender and no longer pink, about 2 1/2 hours, flipping over halfway through cooking time.
  • Meanwhile, bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Serve ribs and sauce with white rice and sprinkle with green onions.
