This recipe is adapted from a book called "The Gourmet Slow Cooker - Vol II." I adapted it because I didn't have all of the ingredients and couldn't go out because my kids were napping...so the original might be better, but this was pretty darn good. I hope you think so too!
Ingredients:
3 lbs pork, babyback ribs
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup cider
2 Tbs cider vinegar
1 Tbs finely minced or fresh grated ginger (I used 1 tsp powdered ginger but am positive fresh would have been better)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbs toasted sesame oil
2 Tbs brown sugar
Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Chopped scallions for garnish (optional)
1 Tbs corn starch
Directions:
In a large saute pan over medium high heat, brown ribs on all sides and place in crock pot.

1 Tbs corn starch
Directions:
In a large saute pan over medium high heat, brown ribs on all sides and place in crock pot.
Combine soy sauce, cider, vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and brown sugar in a bowl and whisk to combine. Pour over ribs and set crock pot to low for 6-8 hrs until meat is very tender. I was home during this so I spooned the juices over the meat about once an hour to baste it. To serve, arrange ribs on a plate. Turn crock-pot to high and add 1 tablespoon of corn starch and whisk. This might take a few minutes but it will help it to thicken the sauce. Strain sauce into a bowl then spoon over ribs.
Note: I served this will a vegetable fried rice that I just made up and don't really have a recipe for but I do know it was really good. I added some shredded cabbage to it which really made it, I thought. I also had soy sauce, a touch of fish oil, sesame oil, and also scrambled egg, onion, peppers and peas.
