Combine cornstarch, flour, and five-spice powder in a bowl.

Beat an egg in a separate bowl and add water to create a batter.

Dip marinated ribs into the batter, coating evenly.

Dredge the battered ribs in the flour mixture until fully coated.

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully lower the coated ribs into the hot oil in batches.

Fry ribs until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes per batch.

Remove ribs and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the hot ribs immediately after frying.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
