Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern.

Mix orange juice, Sriracha sauce, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a bowl until well combined.

Brush the glaze over the scored ham, ensuring it seeps into the cuts.

Place the ham on a roasting rack in a baking pan.

Bake the ham for 1.5 to 2 hours, basting with the glaze every 30 minutes.

In a small saucepan, combine remaining glaze ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Cook until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Drizzle the thickened glaze over the sliced ham.

Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
