Preparation

Step 1

Combine ribs, soy sauce, sugar, star anise, green onions, cinnamon, ginger and peppercorns in slow cooker. Cover and cook until meat is very tender and falling from bone, 5 hours or more on high, 7 hours or more on low. Taste and add salt if necessary.
If you like, remove meat, strain liquid and refrigerate meat and liquid separately; skim fat from liquid, and reheat with meat. Serve hot over white rice garnished with green onions or cilantro. Makes 4 servings.
