Asian Pork Ribs

a package of boneless pork or beef ribs

--1 cup soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari Wheat-Free are gluten free)
--1 cup brown sugar
--5 whole jalapeno peppers (Stefania used 10. Use what you think is appropriate for your family.)
--1/2 cup water

 Put the frozen pork ribs into the crockpot(I didn't even think of browning them).
Put the soy sauce, water and brown sugar on top, and threw in peppers without cutting them.
Since my ribs were frozen, I cooked them on high for an hour, then used a wooden spoon to smash them down further into the crock. Then I cooked on low for another 8 hours. If you are out of the house all day, cook on low. When you get home, turn the ribs over so the other side gets fully saturated with liquid. We served this with brown rice and green beans. It was sooo good!
