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)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the pork ribs by patting them dry with paper towels and removing silver skin if necessary.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
Step 3
Place the pork ribs in the crock pot and pour the marinade evenly over them, ensuring all ribs are coated.
Step 4
Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the ribs for added flavor.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Once the ribs are done, carefully transfer them to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Brush the thickened sauce over the ribs or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Step 9
Garnish the pork ribs with chopped green onions and additional sesame seeds before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with steamed rice or a side of your choice.
