Instructions
- In a small bowl mix soy sauce, honey, hoisin, five spice blend, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, red food coloring (optional).
- Cut the ribs between the bones, every 2 bones.
- Place ribs and marinade in an 8-quart slow cooker. Cook on low for 6 hours.
- Remove ribs and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
- Stir the cornstarch into the slow cooker. Turn it to high and let it cook for 2-3 minutes to thicken the sticky glaze.
- Baste the ribs all over with the marinade from the slow cooker.
- Place under the broiler for 5-6 minutes or until caramelized.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
- Choosing the proper cut of meat is crucial. For this recipe, I'd recommend St. Louis-style ribs. They're meaty and have less fat than baby back ribs.
- If you're strapped for time, you can cook the ribs on high for 4 hours instead of 6 on low.
- Want to turn up the heat? Add more red pepper flakes.
- Use the red food coloring to get the classic red color you'd see in a restaurant.
