Servings: 4 people
- 1 rack baby ribs about 2 pounds
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon roasted white sesame seeds garnish on top
- 1 cup slaw for serving
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons mirin Japanese sweet seasoning
- 1/4 cup sugar
Prepare teriyaki sauce by mixing soy sauce, mirin, and sugar in a cup. Pour the mixture into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved. Turn off the heat and set the sauce aside.
Cut the ribs apart and place them in an Instant Pot (or a slow cooker). Evenly sprinkle ground black pepper on top and add 2/3 of the teriyaki sauce. Cover the pot and cook for 30 minutes in the Instant Pot or 4 hours on high in the slow cooker.
Simmer the remaining teriyaki sauce with balsamic vinegar and garlic for 5 minutes over medium heat. Turn off the heat and transfer the mixture to a dish.
Brush the sauce onto the cooked ribs and garnish with white sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the slow cooker teriyaki ribs with slaw, green salad, or steamed rice.
