Crockpot Indonesian-style Country Ribs

__NOTOC__
== Description ==
Easy to put together in the crock and go. Goes great with steamed jasmine rice and fresh pineapple and stir-fried veggies cooked with a little bit of the sauce from the ribs (I had some mushrooms and snow peas). This was inspired by KitchenManiac's recipe #62470 Curry Devil, a dish that I really love and prepare whenever I have the time and ingredients.
== Ingredients ==
* 2 lbs pork country-style spareribs, trimmed
* 1 onion, sliced
* ¼ cup ketjap manis (dark sweet soy sauce)
* ¼ cup pineapple juice
* 1 lime (juice of, no seeds)
* 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
* 1 tablespoon brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
* ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
* ½ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
=== To Serve ===
* 3 – 4 Thai red chili peppers, slice thin (optional)
* 3 cups steamed jasmine rice (optional)
== Directions ==
# Place ribs in the bottom of the crockpot.
# Separate onion into rings and place on top of pork.
# In a small bowl, mix together ketjap manis, pineapple juice, lime juice, ketchup, brown sugar, ginger, turmeric, and cayenne pepper until blended.
# Pour mixture over pork and onions.
# Cover crockpot and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours or until pork is tender and cooked through.
# Serve pork with rice (if desired), garnished with slices of hot chiles.
== Serving suggestion ==
For my dinner, I also took some sliced crimini mushrooms and snow peas (about 2 cups each), and stir-fried those with some hot chilies until they were partly cooked, then added a ladle of the sauce from the crock and allowed it to thicken onto the veggies until the veggies were crisp tender; I served the veggies also with chunks of fresh pineapple on the side.
