From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This slow cooker meal is one of those dishes whose tastes belies how simple it is to prepare. It's made with country-style pork ribs that are always available in the supermarket, and the ribs don't cost a king's ransom to prepare. I usually serve them as one of three courses I would make for an Asian-style dinner. This past weekend, I toted fully cooked ribs to the cottage and served them with dumplings and egg rolls that came from the grocers freezer case. No one was the wiser and everyone enjoyed the meal. This is a great family dinner and it's one of my favorite slow cooker recipes. While it may be another manifestation of my "princess and the pea" syndrome, I think pork holds up better in the slow cooker than other meats or poultry. Pork actually retains some flavor and texture while it bubbles in the pot. This is a wonderful meal for busy people or novice cooks to prepare. Once it's in the pot it can be forgotten, but it has the flavor of a dish that has received a great deal of care and attention. If you have not already done so, I hope you will give this effortless recipe a try. Here is how the ribs are made.
