Serves: 4
Ready in: > 2 hrs
Ingredients:
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice or white vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon five spice powder
1 small onion -- finely chopped
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 garlic clove -- minced
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
4 pounds country-style pork ribs -- separated
hot cooked rice
Directions:
In a 3-1/2 quart crock pot, combine ketchup,
honey, vinegar, soy sauce, five-spice powder,
onion, ginger and garlic. Position a broiler
rack 6 inches from the source of the heat and
preheat the broiler. Broil the ribs, turning
once, until browned. About 10 minutes.
Transfer the ribs to the crock pot. Stir to
coat the ribs with the sauce. Cover and slow
cook until ribs are tender. 5-6 hours at 200
degrees (low). Transfer the ribs to a platter
and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Skim the fat from the surface of the sauce. In
a medium saucepan bring the sauce to a simmer
over a medium heat. Cook until reduced to
about 1 cup, 6-8 minutes. Stir in the
cornstarch mixture and cook just until
thickened. Pour the sauce over ribs and serve
immediately with hot cooked rice.
