Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds Pork spareribs
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Soy sauce
- 0.5 cups Pineapple juice
- 0.25 cups Ketchup
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the spareribs into serving-sized pieces if they aren't already pre-cut.
In a medium bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger. Stir until combined to create the Polynesian sauce.
Place the spareribs into the crock pot and pour the Polynesian sauce evenly over the ribs.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat begins to fall off the bone.
Once the ribs are cooked, carefully remove them from the crock pot and transfer them to a serving dish. Cover them with foil to keep warm.
Turn the crock pot to high heat. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry.
Stir the cornstarch slurry into the liquid in the crock pot and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Pour the thickened sauce over the ribs or serve it as a side for dipping.
Garnish the ribs with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve warm and enjoy your Polynesian Crock Pot Spareribs!
