Directions
-
Trim excess fat from the country ribs and cut into individual ribs if necessary.

In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, honey, white vinegar, soy sauce, five-spice powder, chopped onion, minced ginger, and minced garlic.

Place the ribs in a 3.5-quart slow cooker in a single layer if possible.

Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the ribs, turning them to coat thoroughly.
-
Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the meat is tender.
-
Transfer ribs to a baking sheet and brush with remaining sauce. Broil for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
-
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water to form a slurry.
-
Stir the slurry into the cooking liquid in the slow cooker; simmer on HIGH for 10 minutes until thickened.
-
Serve ribs hot with the thickened sauce drizzled over steamed rice.
