Crockpot Indonesian-style Country Ribs

Recipe Description

Easy to put together in the crock and go. Goes great with steamed jasmine rice and fresh pineapple and stir-fried veggies cooked with a little bit of the sauce from the ribs (I had some mushrooms and snow peas). This was inspired by KitchenManiac's recipe #62470 Curry Devil, a dish that I really love and prepare whenever I have the time and ingredients.
