Ingredients:
- 2 lbs pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Directions:
- In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Place the ribs in the slow cooker and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the ribs are tender and the meat easily pulls away from the bone.
- Once cooked, remove the ribs from the slow cooker and let them rest for a few minutes.
- For added flavor, you can broil the ribs in the oven for 3-5 minutes to caramelize the sauce.
- Serve the ribs drizzled with some of the leftover marinade, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
