toasted sesame seeds, minced chives or green onionsas desired
Instructions
Pour all ingredients for the sauce into a 3-quart or larger Crockpot™ Slow Cooker; stir to combine. Add ribs and sliced onions. Toss to coat evenly.
Cook ribs on high setting for 3-4 hours*, stirring once halfway through for even coating in the sauce.
Remove ribs to a plate while you finish the sauce. First, use a ladle or a spouted measuring cup to remove the excess fat from the surface of the sauce (the ribs release a lot).
In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch into cold water until smooth. Pour this cornstarch mixture into the sauce.Remove the stoneware cooking dish from the Crockpot™ base and microwave the sauce for 1 1/2 -3 minutes, stopping to whisk every 30 seconds, until the sauce is thick and glossy.
Toss ribs with the sauce and serve topped with green onion and/or sesame seeds, if desired.
Notes
*At 4 hours, the ribs will be completely falling off the bone, and can be served to top rice bowls. At 3 hours they will be less buttery tender but should maintain their rib shape for serving.
