Directions
-
Cut pork spareribs into individual 1-rib pieces.
-
In a 13x9-inch microwave-safe baking dish, combine lemon juice and 2 cloves of pressed garlic.
-
Add the rib pieces to the dish and toss thoroughly to coat them in the lemon-garlic mixture.
-
Arrange the ribs in a single layer, meaty side up.
-
Cover the dish and microwave on Medium-high (70%) power for 10 minutes.
-
Turn the ribs over and baste them with the pan juices.
-
Cover again and microwave for an additional 6 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine the lite teriyaki sauce, minced green onions, and the remaining pressed garlic clove in a small bowl to create the glaze.
-
Place the ribs on a rack set inside a broiler pan.
-
Brush the ribs generously with the teriyaki glaze.
-
Broil the ribs 4 to 5 inches from the heat source for about 6 minutes on each side, basting frequently with the remaining sauce, until cooked through and caramelized.

Note
Grilling Alternative: Instead of broiling, you can grill the ribs. Remove ribs from the microwave, brush thoroughly with the teriyaki sauce mixture, and cook on a grill 4 to 5 inches from medium-hot coals for 8 to 10 minutes, turning and basting occasionally, until cooked through.
Storage: Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to prevent drying out.
Ingredient Note: Ensure the teriyaki sauce is well-mixed before using. If the glaze is too thick, add a splash of water to achieve a brushable consistency.
