Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cut the pork ribs into individual portions and season them with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Sear the pork ribs on all sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the ribs from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Add the minced garlic and sliced red chilies to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and tomato paste to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture begins to soften and release its juices.
Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and water. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Return the seared pork ribs to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, basting the ribs with the sauce every 20 minutes.
After 60 minutes, remove the lid or foil and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and caramelize slightly over the ribs.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the ribs rest for 5 minutes.
Garnish the ribs with chopped parsley (optional) and serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as rice, bread, or roasted vegetables.
