Uncover and cook for additional 10 minutes until meat has a nice caramelization and liquid reduced- as sticky glaze on ribs. - Transfer ribs on a serving plate and spoon out most fat out from pan. Add in green onion and lime juice to sauce and mix. - Pour sauce over ribs and serve warm. Enjoy with a warm cooked jasmine rice
