Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds pasture-raised pork ribs
- 2-4 cups white vinegar
- 1-2 cups pure water
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 2 Tbsp. rice wine vinegar or raw apple cider vinegar (where to find rice wine vinegar)
- 3 Tbsp. coconut aminos or wheat-free tamari (where to find coconut aminos)
- Sea salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Chinese 5-spice powder, to taste (where to find 5-spice powder)
- Cover your ribs with white vinegar and water in a 2:1 ratio. Mix in a teaspoon of sea salt and soak 12 hours or overnight.
- In the morning, drain ribs thoroughly.
- Sprinkle each side of your ribs generously with sea salt, black pepper and garlic powder.
- Heavily coat each side with Chinese 5-spice powder until most of the meat appears covered in dark orange powder.
- Gently rub the seasonings into the meat on both sides, then place the ribs upright into your crockpot. (It’s ok if they lean!)
- Add the rice wine vinegar and coconut aminos or tamari to the bottom of the crockpot.
- Cook on high for 4-6 hours. Without much liquid in the pot, these ribs are roasting, not stewing, so keep your eye on them so they don’t dry out!
