Slow Cooker Sweet Chili Pork Ribs
Country pork ribs are slow cooked in a sauce made with brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, ginger and more for the most flavorful, tender ribs.
Ingredients
- 5 pounds bone-in country style pork ribs
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure honey
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh peeled ginger (about 1 inch piece), minced or finely grated
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
For garnish and serving:
- 1 bunch green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Cooked rice
Instructions
- Place ribs in a 6-8 quart slow cooker.
- In a medium-sized bowl, add ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, garlic, ginger, onion powder, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine then pour over ribs.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or until ribs are "fall apart" tender. Remove ribs from sauce, place on a platter, then cover with foil to keep warm.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the cooking liquid into a saucepan. Take out about 1/3 cup using a cup or small bowl. Add cornstarch and stir with a fork until no lumps remain. Pour back into sauce. Bring to a boil, stir often, until it thickens into a glaze (3-5 minutes).
- Pour half of glaze over the ribs then garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve with cooked rice. Use remaining sauce for spooning over rice if desired.
