Ingredients

2 pounds baby back pork ribs
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 onion, cut into quarters
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup light soy sauce
1/2 cup rice wine
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger root
1 head garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and chopped

Directions

1 Wash ribs; pat dry. Liberally salt ribs.
2 Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add ribs; cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a 3-quart slow cooker.
3 Add onion, soy sauce, light soy sauce, rice wine, orange juice, ginger, garlic, and jalapeño to a blender; cover and blend until combined. Pour sauce over ribs; cover slow cooker.
4 Cook on High until meat easily pulls away from the bone, 3 to 4 hours.

6 Cook ribs under the preheated broiler until nicely charred but not burned, about 5 minutes. Garnish with scallions.
