Crock Pot Saucy Asian Ribs

These are easy to make but don’t just throw them in a crock pot for 8 hours and walk away. You will have meat and bones as they will be way over cooked, especially if you use tender baby back ribs. These Crock Pot Saucy Asian Ribs are fantastic.

You want the meat to still be on the bone and to easily pull off but not be falling off. The sauce with this recipe is the best, get in there, get your fingers dirty and sticky. It is finger licking good!!

Ribs can be cooked so many ways, smoked, grilled, baked, broiled and slow cooked. All of them are delicious as you are starting with a great cut of flavorful meat. 

How to Cook Asian Ribs in a Slow Cooker

I know you want to get right to this, so let me tell you that this recipe is simple. You cut up a large rack of ribs into 3 or 4 sections and place them into a crock pot.

Then in a small bowl combine the sauce ingredients and whisk and pour over baby back ribs or side ribs.

Cook the ribs for 4 1/2 to 5 hours or until they are tender but not completely falling off the bone. Don’t overcook them! Remove the ribs and set aside. 

You then thicken the sauce pour it back over the ribs and you have the perfect dinner or game day scrumptiousness!! 

I love that you can serve these ribs up with rice and have sauce for that too! How amazing and your family will love you for this recipe.
