Instructions
Heat 2 tbsp sunflower oil in a heavy-based saute pan over a medium-high heat. Brown 1.4 kg pork ribs on all sides and place into the bowl of your slow cooker.
Mix together 100 ml Hoisin sauce, 60 ml dark soy sauce, 2 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine, 2 tbsp runny honey, 1 tsp garlic puree, 1.5 tsp Chinese Five Spice and 1 pinch chilli flakes (if using) and pour over the top of the seared pork ribs. Stir well to coat.
Close the lid of the slow cooker, select HIGH heat and set the timer for 4 hours.
At the end of the cooking time, the KEEP WARM function will turn on. Remove the ribs from the cooking pot and keep warm.
Dissolve 15 grams cornflour in a little water and stir into the sauce left in the bottom of the bowl. Stir until thickened (it'll thicken pretty quickly).
Return the ribs to the cooking pot and stir well to coat. Serve straight from the cooking pot, or arrange the ribs on a serving platter, garnish with spring onions abd sliced fresh red chilli and serve the remaining sauce on the side.
