Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Country-style pork ribs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 3 Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the country-style pork ribs under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, Chinese five spice powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) to make the sauce.
Place the pork ribs into the crock pot, arranging them in a single layer as much as possible.
Pour the prepared sauce evenly over the ribs, making sure they are well coated.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the ribs are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
Once cooked, optionally skim any excess fat from the surface of the sauce.
Carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and transfer them to a serving platter. Spoon some of the sauce over the ribs to keep them moist.
Garnish the ribs with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the ribs hot with steamed white rice or stir-fried vegetables alongside, if desired.
