Cooking these Chinese spare ribs in the slow cooker makes them easy, without heating up the house, and still tender and packed with flavor.

Ingredients

- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- ½ teaspoon ginger grated/minced
- ½ teaspoon garlic grated/minced

Instructions
- Cut the ribs between the bones to give individual ribs. Put the in a single layer in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Mix together the hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice wine, Chinese five spice, ginger and garlic. Pour on top of the ribs and turn them over a little to coat. You should have a thin layer of sauce over the top and a slight 'puddle' around the ribs (see photo above). Put the lid on and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
- After they are cooked and tender, but not falling off the bones too much, carefully remove the ribs from the slow cooker and place on a foil-lined baking sheet/tray. Pour the sauce into a small pan and simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly. Pour a little over the ribs and put under the broiler/grill for a couple minutes to caramelize. Serve with some more of the sauce on the side, if you like.
Notes
- Note - you can easily double this recipe for a full rack of ribs (or more) - you may want to increase the cook time to 7-8 hours and add a little water to the sauce as it cooks if there isn't enough to keep the ribs moist.
