1 rack of pork ribs, about 12 ribs (about 700g)

Salt

1–2 spring onions, green parts finely sliced, to serve

For the marinade

2 tbsp sesame oil

4 tbsp dark soy sauce

4 tbsp clear honey

6 tbsp teriyaki sauce

1 tsp five-spice powder

Juice of 2 limes

Pinch of dried chilli flakes

Preheat the slow cooker, if required. Chop the rack into ribs and put them in the slow cooker. Season with salt and add the peppercorns.

In a bowl, mix together all the marinade ingredients, add to the slow cooker, and turn the ribs to coat.

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on auto/low for 8 hours.

Remove the ribs from the slow cooker and serve with rice or on their own while piping hot. Garnish with the spring onions.
