Crock Pot Asian Style Short Ribs

---

Very tender chunks of meat with a great asian flavor that will melt in your mouth. Not too spicy, but you can add more pepper if you like it hotter. You can buy five-spice powder, a spice much like star anise, in most oriental markets. Goes great with rice and steamed or stir-fried veggies for a nice asian meal.
