Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pounds pork ribs
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the pork ribs by patting them dry with paper towels and removing silver skin if necessary.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
Place the pork ribs in the crock pot and pour the marinade evenly over them, ensuring all ribs are coated.
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the ribs for added flavor.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the ribs are tender and cooked through.
Once the ribs are done, carefully transfer them to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Pour the cooking liquid from the crock pot into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Brush the thickened sauce over the ribs or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish the pork ribs with chopped green onions and additional sesame seeds before serving.
Serve warm with steamed rice or a side of your choice.
