Hawaiian Inspired Baby Back Ribs For The Slow Cooker Food

SLOW-COOKER HAWAIIAN BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• Generously season the ribs with salt and pepper, then rub with the vegetable oil and sprinkle with the chile powder, pressing to adhere. Whisk 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, the vinegar, ginger and garlic in a 6- to 8-quart slow cooker. Add the ribs and turn to coat in the sauce. Cover and cook on low until the ribs are tender, 7 hours.
• Preheat the broiler. Transfer the ribs to a rimmed baking sheet. Remove 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid to a small bowl and whisk in the remaining 1/3 cup barbecue sauce, the pineapple preserves and ketchup.
• Brush the pineapple sauce all over the ribs to coat completely; arrange bone-side down. Broil until the sauce is sticky and the ribs are lightly charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with the scallions.

HAWAIIAN-INSPIRED BABY BACK RIBS FOR THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Place baby back ribs portions in the bottom of a slow cooker; sprinkle black pepper and five-spice powder on top.
• Mix hoisin sauce, pineapple juice, green onions, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in a bowl to make sauce. Pour 2/3 of the sauce over the ribs. Refrigerate remaining sauce.
• Cook ribs on Low, basting occasionally with sauce, until tender, 6 to 8 hours.
• Transfer ribs to a serving dish. Brush remaining sauce on top.

ROYAL HAWAIIAN RIBS

Steps:

• Place the ribs in a large pot, cover with cold water and add the salt, carrot, celery, onion, garlic and ginger. Bring the ribs to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the ribs are very tender but not completely falling off the bone, about 45 minutes.
• While ribs are cooking, make the sauce. Combine the pineapple juice, chicken stock, brown sugar, hoisin, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, chile, Worcestershire sauce and 1 of the green onions in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until thickened.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
• Drain the ribs and discard the vegetables and ginger. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the ribs on the baking sheet and brush them with oil.
• Brush the sauce on the ribs and grill, brushing on more sauce occasionally, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the ribs to a platter, brush once more with the sauce, scatter with the remaining green onion and serve.

HAWAIIAN-STYLE SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Place onions, garlic, and ginger in a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. Top with short ribs in a tight layer. In a medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and Sriracha and add to slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until ribs are almost tender, 4 hours. Add pineapple and cook until pineapple is tender, 1 hour.
• With a slotted spoon, transfer ribs, pineapple, onions, and ginger to a platter and tent with foil. With a ladle, skim fat from cooking liquid. Serve ribs and pineapple mixture with rice; drizzle with some cooking liquid and sprinkle with scallions.

HAWAIIAN BABY BACK OVEN-ROASTED RIBS

Steps:

• In a bowl whisk together sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, whiskey, salt and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
• Pour the marinade into a roasting pan.
• Add in the garlic and ginger.
• Add in the ribs turning to coat with the marinade.
• Cover and marinate in the fridge for a minimum of 24 hours, turning occasionally to coat with marinade.
• Remove the ribs from the marinade (reserving the marinade, and discard the garlic).
• Arrange the rib racks on a large broiler pan (rounded side facing up).
• Set oven to 350°F and set the rack to the second-lowest position.
• Roast the ribs, basting with marinade about every 20 minutes (DO NOT baste the last 10 minutes of cooking) or until the ribs are tender and the glaze is browned (about 1-3/4 hours).
• Discard any unused marinade.
• Cut the ribs to desired size and serve.

BABY BACK RIBS (SLOW COOKER)

Steps:

• Trim excess fat from ribs. Combine dry ingredients and rub over the surface of the ribs. Place ribs in slow cooker or Crock-Pot standing on their edge with the meaty side out. Cook for about 8 hours. Remove ribs from slow cooker and brush with barbecue sauce.
• My Note: THE ONLY THING I DID DIFFERENTLY WAS THAT I TURNED OFF THE SLOW COOKER AND I REMOVED THE RIBS. I PLACED THEM ONTO A FLAT TRAY LINED WITH FOIL, WITH MINIMAL JUICE FROM THE SLOW COOKER. I PRE-HEATED THE OVEN TO 380 AND I BRUSHED THE RIBS WITH SWEET RAYS BBQ SAUCE ( WE LOVE THIS BBQ SAUCE) AND WE BAKED THEM FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO FIRM THEM UP A BIT AND GLAZE THEM. THEY WERE AWESOME.
• First, we cooked for 6.5 hours on low, and the ribs came out moist and falling off the bone tender. Any longer, and they would have not have held together. Second, we also coated lightly in BBQ sauce when they came out, and then put them under the broiler for 7 minutes. That way, the outside was crispy and BBQ-like, but the inside was moist and so, so, tender. When we make again, we'll take them out after 6 hours, which is plenty on low! My wife said they are the best she's ever had, and my mother-in-law wanted the recipe!
