A delightful recipe for tender pork ribs cooked in a slow cooker with a sweet and spicy glaze.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Heating the oil before adding the ribs ensures they sear properly.
Sear the pork ribs in the hot pan until browned on all sides.
Searing locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor to the ribs.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, ketchup, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well blended.
Pour half of the glaze into the slow cooker, place the seared ribs on top, and drizzle with the remaining glaze.
Layering the glaze ensures even coating and flavor distribution.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours until the ribs are tender.
Cooking on low heat ensures the ribs become tender and flavorful.
Serve the ribs with the cooking juices over steamed rice or your preferred side.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
