Preheat dutch oven on high. Warm vegetable oil and brown ribs on all sides. Pour in marinade and cover; cook 3 hours. Add carrots, cover, cook 1 hour more. Let meat and sauce cool, 1 hour.

Transfer to a cutting board. Skim fat off of the sauce. Reheat and pour over ribs. Garnish with green onions and serve over rice.
