Equipment

  • Crockpot

Ingredients

  • 2 racks baby back pork ribs
  • seasoning salt to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • 2/3 cup sweet chili sauce I use Mae Ploy brand
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Sriracha hot chili sauce (add more if you like it spicy)

Instructions

  • Remove any membrane from ribs.  
    Rub ribs with seasoning and place in large crock pot (you may have to cut the ribs up so they all fit).
    Crockpot with uncooked racks of ribs seasoned with seasoning salt.
  • Pour in water and slow cook on low heat for 6-7 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours. Ribs are cooked through when they are just barely pulling away from the bone but not falling off the bone.
    A good way to tell if they are done is to stick a knife in the ribs and if the knife comes up without pulling at the meat, they are done.

  • Place the ribs on the top oven rack.
    Broil for about 3-5 minutes or until the sauce begins to caramelize.  Watch them VERY closely so they don't burn.
