How to Make Crock Pot Indonesian Style Country Ribs

  1. Place ribs (approximately 3 lbs) in the bottom of your crock pot.
  2. Separate 1 large onion into rings and place on top of the pork.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together: 1/2 cup ketjap manis (sweet soy sauce), 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 1 teaspoon ground turmeric, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  4. Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the pork and onions.
  5. Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the pork is incredibly tender and easily pulls apart.
  6. Serve the pork over rice, garnished with 2-3 thinly sliced fresh hot chiles.
  7. For the vegetable side dish: Stir-fry 8 oz sliced crimini mushrooms and 8 oz snow peas with 1-2 thinly sliced fresh hot chiles until they are slightly softened. Add 1/2 cup of the rib sauce from the crock pot and cook until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are crisp-tender.
  8. Serve the stir-fried vegetables alongside chunks of fresh pineapple.
