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)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin membrane from the back of the racks. This ensures tender ribs and better flavor absorption.
Step 2
Cut the ribs into 3- to 4-bone sections so they fit easily into the crock pot.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once cooked, carefully remove the ribs from the crock pot and arrange them on a serving platter.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
