Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Remove the membrane from the back of the pork ribs for more tender results. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Wrap each rack of ribs tightly in aluminum foil and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 hours, until tender.
While the ribs are baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir this into the glaze mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the glaze thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
After 2.5 hours of baking, carefully unwrap the ribs and increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C).
Brush the ribs generously with the prepared glaze on both sides. Return them to the oven, uncovered, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and sticky.
Let the ribs rest for 5 minutes, then cut them into individual pieces.
Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
