Cut the slab of ribs between the bones into individual ribs.
Place ribs in a stock pot and cover with cold water (2 inches above ribs).
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 1 to 1.5 hours, skimming off any scum.
Remove ribs from the pot and let them cool completely.
Reserve the pork stock for future use.
Combine rice wine, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, garlic, chili garlic sauce, and five-spice powder; whisk until blended.
Pour half of the marinade over the cooled ribs and toss to coat.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or preferably overnight, stirring occasionally.
Reserve the remaining marinade in a non-reactive container in the refrigerator.
Preheat the broiler and position a rack in the upper third of the oven.
To the reserved marinade, add honey and sesame oil; whisk to combine.
Remove the ribs from the refrigerator and place them on an aluminum foil-lined baking sheet.
Brush the ribs with the marinade-honey mixture and broil for 4-5 minutes, or until crispy on the edges.
Flip the ribs, brush with the remaining marinade, and broil for another 4 minutes, until crispy.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
