Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by slicing your red onion and spreading the rings evenly across the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Next, take your trimmed ribs and place them snugly on top of the onion layer.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, Sriracha, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.
  4. Gently pour the sauce mixture evenly over the ribs, ensuring that they are fully coated.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat, allowing the Hawaiian Ribs to cook for 7 hours.
  6. Once the cooking time is complete, remove the slow cooker lid and check for doneness; serve over rice, drizzling the thickened glaze on top.
