Preheat your oven to 325Β°F (165Β°C).
Prepare the spareribs by patting them dry with paper towels and removing the membrane from the underside of the ribs (if not already removed). Cut into individual ribs if desired.
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, and white pepper (if using). Whisk until thoroughly mixed to create the marinade.
Place the spareribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight for maximum flavor).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the ribs in a single layer on the wire rack, brushing them with any remaining marinade.
Cover the ribs loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, basting with the marinade every 20 minutes.
After 60 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Remove the foil covering and bake the ribs uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the ribs are caramelized and sticky.
Remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter, garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and serve warm.
