Ingredients
- 2 racks baby back ribs (about 5 pounds total)
- 1 head garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
- One 3-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions
- Cut each rack of ribs in half. Scatter the garlic and ginger in the bottom of a 6-quart slow cooker, then top with the ribs, bone-side down. Cover and cook on a low heat for 8 hours.
- Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and loosely cover with foil to keep them warm.
- Strain the cooking juices from the slow cooker into a large skillet. Stir in the honey, soy sauce and vinegar. Bring to a boil over a medium-high heat.
- Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl, then whisk into the skillet and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute.
- Add the ribs to the sauce in the skillet and turn to coat.
- Remove the ribs, then cut them into pieces and serve with some coleslaw on the side.

Flavors are delicious! I cooked the ribs using the slow cooker function on my Instant Pot. I pulled the ribs out and turned on the sauté function on the Instant Pot to make the sauce, then put the cut (separated) ribs back in to coat them before serving. The pot was crowded so the ribs didn’t get coated as much as I’d like and the sauce was thin. In retrospect I would have put the ribs on a sheet pan, coated them with sauce and broiled them to get some more carmelization. I gave it 5 stars because it was my change that caused the issue, not the recipe. Again – flavor was outstanding and I’ll make this again.
Followed recipe exactly…flavor is delish!! The ribs are sooo tender the bones fell out! Sooo, it was more like shredded pork than ribs! I may serve leftovers on a toasted bun tomorrow! Great recipe ❤️
This was a big hit with my family. I used my Ninjas on slow cook function (had more than 5 pounds of ribs so I had to used both). I’d next time not cook as long because they were falling off the bone so it was difficult to get them out without falling apart, which made last step of putting them in the pan with the juices on the stovetop a little different.
The flavor was amazing and the guests and my family still thoroughly enjoyed them.

This recipe is amazing- easy and quick to pull together. The flavor is perfect and the meat is deserving of “fall off the bone” description. Going to use leftover teriyaki sauce on baked salmon. Make these ribs!!!
