For an even richer flavor, consider marinating the ribs in half of the hoisin mixture for at least 2 hours, or even overnight, before baking and slow-cooking. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the ribs from the slow cooker after cooking and bring the remaining sauce to a simmer in a saucepan on the stovetop. Cook until reduced to your desired consistency. For a hint of freshness, garnish the finished ribs with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease the insert of a slow cooker with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Arrange pork ribs in a single layer on a baking sheet. Season generously with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)
03
Step
30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the ribs are lightly browned, approximately 30 minutes. This step adds depth of flavor and helps render some of the fat. (30 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
While the ribs are baking, prepare the hoisin sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, sugar, soy sauce, white wine, tomato paste, crushed garlic, chili-garlic sauce, and Chinese five-spice powder until thoroughly combined and smooth. (5 minutes)
05
Step
3 mins
Transfer the partially cooked pork ribs to the prepared slow cooker insert. Pour the hoisin sauce mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. (3 minutes)
06
Step
8 hrs
Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low heat for approximately 8 hours, or until the pork ribs are incredibly tender and easily pull away from the bone. Stir halfway through the cooking time to ensure even saucing. (8 hours)
