How to Make Crock Pot Coconut Spice Country Pork Ribs

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), 2-3 kaffir lime leaves (roughly chopped), 1 stalk lemongrass (thinly sliced), and 1 tablespoon tamarind paste.
  2. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Place 2-3 pounds boneless pork ribs (whole or cut into 1/2-inch slices) into your slow cooker. Pour the coconut milk mixture over the ribs, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the pork ribs are incredibly tender and easily fall off the bone.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth.
  6. One hour before serving, stir the cornstarch slurry into the slow cooker.
  7. Stir well and allow the sauce to thicken. If needed, increase the slow cooker setting to high for 10-15 minutes to achieve desired thickness.
  8. Serve immediately over steamed rice or noodles. Garnish with chopped green onions (optional).
