Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 lbs boneless country style pork ribs
Marinade:
- ½ cup coconut aminos
- ¼ cup sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice
- ½ tablespoon ground ginger
Garnish:
- 8 cloves garlic
- 6 scallions
Instructions
- Transfer 3 lbs of boneless country style pork ribs into your slow cooker, arranging them evenly across the bottom.
- Whisk together ½ cup coconut aminos, ¼ cup sesame oil, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce, 1 tbsp sweetener, ½ tbsp ground ginger in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Slice 8 cloves of garlic and 6 scallions, then sprinkle them over the ribs.
- Pour the prepared sauce mixture directly over the ribs, ensuring each piece gets coated.
- If your meat is frozen, set slow cooker to high and cook for 6-8 hours, maintaining an internal temperature of 145°F.
- For defrosted ribs, reduce cooking temperature to low and cook for 6-8 hours until meat becomes tender and easily pulls apart.
- Check internal meat temperature reaches 145°F to guarantee safe consumption.
- Once finished, remove ribs from slow cooker and let rest for 10 minutes before serving with optional kimchi and sesame kelp noodles.
Notes
- Check the tenderness of the ribs around 6 hours to prevent overcooking, as slow cookers can vary in heat intensity.
- For a gluten-free version, swap soy sauce with tamari and ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.
- Add a tablespoon of gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) to the sauce for an authentic kick of spice and deeper flavor.
- If kimchi isn’t available, serve with quick-pickled cucumbers or a simple Asian slaw to complement the rich pork ribs.
