Before jumping to the recipe please note that the below information contains HOT TIPS for this recipe. We try and answer all your questions to guarantee a perfect keto recipe every time.

Pork ribs are one of my all-time favourite meals and this version far from disappoints!

Back in the day I was regularly making ribs nearly every other weekend. First I would start off with a delicious spiced rub (that included brown sugar) then came the sauce and with that was my barbecue sauce that was again filled with brown sugar and molasses and a good splash of bourbon. Well lets say those days are over and new versions need to be made that are equally as good, or in my humble opinion better!

Many purists would certainly not approve of the methods this recipe uses, but to be honest I love ribs a multitude of ways. I believe a recipe made to be easy for everyone and to be able to cook it without having to have smokers, grill, or barbecue, is a recipe that will be used again and again. In saying that look out for when I start doing some of my recipes on the smoker anyway. Haha! I have to trial all forms of cooking don’t I?

This is such an easy method

Cooking the ribs this way gives you a tender rib every time. Simply boiling the water and pouring over instantly seals the meat and gets them off to a flying start in the slow cooker. Add the sauce later or basting as you go, gives you that beautiful sticky consistency you can so clearly see in the pictures.

Below was another version I did at the same time with a spiced barbecue sauce. The recipe will be LIVE soon along with another rib I did this past week which I have aptly called the Lazy Rib. Nothing better than having to do so little in the kitchen to produce rewarding tasty dishes like all of these ones. For those of you after a perfect barbecue sauce for a condiment or barbecue rib you can also check out my Smokey Barbecue Sauce just by clicking the link. It is better than any bought stuff I assure you!

I hope you love this version of my Asian Ribs as much as I do. Let me know below what you think below in the comments box.

Cheers

  Absolutely! Wrap the ribs (with any sauces) in baking paper and foil. Add 1 litre water to mixing bowl. Steam/Varoma/speed 1. Then transfer to hot oven and baste with sauce to brown up ribs.
