Enjoy the rich, aromatic flavours of slow-cooked Peking-style pork ribs. A marinade of hoisin, soy sauce, garlic, and honey infuses the meat with savoury sweetness. As they slow-cook to tender perfection, the ribs develop a glossy, flavourful coating, offering a taste of Chinese-inspired cuisine with minimal effort.
Slow cooker Peking-style pork ribs offer a delightful fusion of sweet and savoury flavours inspired by the classic Peking duck.
The ribs are slow-cooked in a rich sauce made from hoisin, soy sauce, garlic, Chinese Five Spice, and a touch of honey, which infuses them with a deep, aromatic taste.
As they slowly cook, the meat becomes incredibly tender, falling off the bone with ease, while the sauce thickens to create a glossy, flavourful coating.
This dish is perfect for a cosy meal, offering a taste of Chinese-inspired cuisine with minimal effort.

They look unbelievable. So tasty!
I love that this has a hinged lid, I always get so annoyed at the mess the lid off my slow cooker makes!

Using the Crock pot is ideal at this time of year, so useful and so versatile. Lovely to come home to a tasty hot meal at the end of a cold day.
