Ingredients

• 3 pounds Pork ribs (baby back or spare)
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce
• 0.25 cups Hoisin sauce
• 0.25 cups Honey
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1.5 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the pork ribs. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs using a knife for easier removal and a paper towel for grip.

Step 2

Cut the ribs into 3-4 rib sections to fit them into the crock pot.

Step 3

In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and brown sugar to make the sauce.

Step 4

Place the rib sections into the crock pot and pour the sauce over the ribs, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 5

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and easily pulls away from the bone.

Step 6

Once the ribs are done, carefully remove them from the crock pot and set aside on a plate, covering them with foil to keep warm.

Step 7

Pour the remaining sauce from the crock pot into a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the simmering sauce to thicken it, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until it reaches a glaze-like consistency.

Step 9

Brush the thickened glaze over the ribs generously.

Step 10

Sprinkle the ribs with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish before serving.

Step 11

Serve the ribs warm with steamed rice or your favorite side dish.
