Vietnamese Sesame Spareribs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs pork spareribs, the little ones
2 scallions, finely sliced
2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional because I have been out of these and they are scrumptious without them too)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon flour
1 teaspoon sugar
sweet and sour sauce ingredients
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup warm water
3 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground red chili pepper

Preparation

In large bowl, mix scallions, sesame seeds, salt, fish sauce, honey, flour and sugar. Marinate in mixture overnight -- or for 24 hours, it makes a difference! You can marinate for 15 minutes, but I noticed the flavors are amazing when marinated for longer.
Preheat oven at 350\u00b0F
Bake spareribs for 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Turn oven to broil and broil ribs for 5 minutes, turning frequently. Serve with sweet and sour sauce. The fish sauce will smell kinda strong and weird while cooking -- don't worry it doesn't taste that way.
Sweet and sour sauce:
In bowl, mix garlic, sugar, citrus juice, water and fish sauce until the sugar is dissolved. Stir in chili pepper.
