You’re gonna fall in love with these Slow Cooker Thai Style Pork Spare Ribs. I mean, the meat falls off the bone, y’all! The taste is so delicious and the flavors are so good together! They are a great week night meal and perfect for Game Day weekends!
My kids went back to school last week, and like most of the first days, I try to make their favorites for dinner when they come home. My oldest LOVES ribs! He craves and talks about them all the time. You know how growing boys eat…he could probably eat an entire rack of ribs, if we let him. Thankfully as my kids are growing older they are starting to like more flavors. In our house we are huge fans of Mexican and Asian infused meals. So I thought I would combine my oldest’s love for ribs with our love for Thai style food in one delicious slow cooker meal.
Ingredients
- 5-6 lbs of Pork Spare Ribs

Instructions
- Start preheating your slow cooker on low.
