Ingredients
Ribs:
2 racks baby back ribs (about 5 pounds total)
Kosher salt
1 head garlic, cloves 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
Slaw:
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
One 14-ounce bag shredded coleslaw mix
1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Special equipment:
a 6-quart slow cooker- For the ribs: Cut each rack of ribs in half. Sprinkle the ribs with salt. 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 low heat for 8 hours, making sure not to lift the lid or otherwise disturb the ribs.
- Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and loosely cover to keep 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 medium-high heat. Stir together the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl, then whisk into the skillet and simmer until thickened, about 1 minute.
- Cut the ribs into pieces and put back in the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat. Turn off the heat and keep warm.
- For the slaw: Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar and honey in a large bowl. Add the coleslaw mix, cilantro and red onion and toss to coat well. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Tip into a serving bowl.
- Serve the ribs in the skillet with the slaw alongside.
