Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork baby back ribs
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Hoisin sauce
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- 0.25 cup Water
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin membrane from the back of the racks. This ensures tender ribs and better flavor absorption.
Cut the ribs into 3- to 4-bone sections so they fit easily into the crock pot.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, Chinese five-spice powder, and water. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
Place the rib sections into the crock pot and pour the sauce evenly over them. Use tongs to ensure all the ribs are coated in the sauce.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the ribs are tender and easily pull away from the bone.
Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and arrange them on a serving platter.
Optional: To caramelize the ribs, place them on a baking sheet lined with foil, brush them with some of the cooking sauce, and broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes until slightly crispy and caramelized.
Serve the ribs garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Pair with steamed rice or your favorite Chinese-style sides for a complete meal.
