Instructions
- In a small bowl whisk together the garlic, ginger, salt, white pepper and Chinese Five Spice powder. Reserve 1 teaspoon of the dry rub for the wet basting sauce.
- In another bowl whisk together the jam, catsup, soy sauce, Gochujang paste, vinegar and teaspoon of reserved dry rub spices. Set aside.
- Keep the membrane on the back of the ribs so they hold together while in the slow cooker. Rub the dry rub on both sides of the ribs.
- Coat the inside of a slow cooker with cooking spray and arrange ribs along sides and bottom, meaty side facing down. Cook on High for 4 hours.
- Carefully remove ribs from slow cooker and with a sharp knife pull off and remove back membrane on ribs. Place meaty side up on a wire rack in a lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Brush with sauce and broil 5 minutes. Baste and continue to broil another 5 minutes. Serve with remaining sauce and chopped cilantro as garnish.
Notes
- Keep the membrane on the back of the ribs so they hold together while in the slow cooker.
- Apple cider, red or white wine vinegar may be substituted for the rice vinegar, but add 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to the sauce mixture as well if substituting.
