Slow Cooker Hawaiian-Style Ribs

Slow Cooker Hawaiian-Style Ribs

Courtesy of National Pork Board 6 Servings • 20 Min. Prep Time • 6 Hr. Cook Time
Ingredients
2 racks pork back ribs, (2 1/2-3 lb. each), cut into 3- or 4-rib sections
2 c. hoisin sauce *
1 c. pineapple juice
3 Tbsp. fresh ginger root, grated
3 Tbsp. sesame oil *
3 scallions, green only, thinly sliced (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. sesame seeds, toasted (optional)

You can find hoisin sauce and sesame oil in the ethnic or Asian section of most major supermarkets.

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, pineapple juice, ginger, and sesame oil.

2. Arrange the ribs in a slow cooker and pour half of the sauce mixture over the ribs. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hr. or on high for 3 1/2-4 hr., until the ribs are very tender. Set the remaining sauce aside in the refrigerator.

3. About 1/2 hr. before the ribs are done, remove the sauce from the refrigerator, to bring it to room temperature.

4. Arrange the ribs on plates or a platter and brush both sides with some of the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with the scallions and sesame seeds, if using. Serve the rest of the remaining sauce at the table.

* Serve these ribs in the Hawaiian plate lunch style, with a scoop of white rice, macaroni salad, or slaw on the side. They'd also be good alongside a simple carrot salad or a few slices of grilled pineapple.
