Crock Pot Teriyaki Pork Riblets

 

Crock Pot Teriyaki Pork Riblets

I recently found pork riblets at the grocery store for just $1.59/lb.  Using a dry rub, I cooked them in the crock pot then glazed and broiled them for a delicious and frugal teriyaki rib dinner. YUM! Prep time was less than 20 minutes for an incredibly yummy meal.

What you’ll need:

• 2lbs of pork riblets (these are smaller than traditional ribs and much cheaper per pound)
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon of garlic
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger (if desired)
• 1/4 teaspoon of cheyenne pepper (if desired)
• Salt & Pepper to taste
• Teriyaki sauce for glaze

Crock Pot Instructions:

1. Mix the dry ingredients together for the rub
2. Rub into pork riblets
3. Lay riblets in a single layer (if possible) in tin foil lined crockpot. Cook on high for 4-5 hours
4. Glaze with teriyaki sauce and broil on high for 4-7 minutes
5. Enjoy!

Teriyaki Sauce for Riblets:

• 1/4 cup of soy sauce
• 1 cup of water
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 5 tablespoons of packed brown sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons of honey
• 2 tablespoons of cornstarch
• 1/4 cup of cold water

Crock Pot Teriyaki Riblets:

1. Mix all the ingredients except the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of water in a sauce pan. Bring to a low boil
2. Add cornstarch to 1/4 cup of cold water. Pour into boiling mixture slowly
3. Bring back to a boil and stir until thickens (you want the constancy of thick orange juice, but not thick like ketchup or BBQ sauce)
4. Store unused in the fridge for up to a week. Goes great on fish, chicken, beef, pork, and vegetables!
