My husband adores this dish, and I love how good it makes the house smell! The mild, tangy, salty-sweet sauce with fresh ginger and garlic is delicious with rice or noodles. —Julie Ko, Rogers, Arkansas

I thought this dish was great! I made a couple subs with it though. I used 1 tbs of ground ginger and country style pork ribs. I thought it had a great flavor and plenty of sauce. The only bummer...my boyfriend wasn't crazy about it. Maybe because of the ginger? Guess that means more leftovers for me!

<p>This recipe was delicious!! My 3 kids (aged 8-14) and hubby LOVED it and they are big fans of asian food. I did substitute ground ginger from a jar for the fresh ginger root.I used the boneless country style ribs and they came out sooo moist and tender! I also served this with the Asian Spaghetti (also a Taste of Home recipe) and it was a perfect combination!</p>

Very good. I used country ribs since they were on sale and the meat was very tender and delicious. My only concern was the sesame oil...it had such a strong smell I was not sure I would be pleased with the results. It tasted good but I think the next time I may use half the amount of sesame oil. Sauce thickened nicely with the cornstarch and was great on the rice.

Amazing! Family loved it. Actually used pork tenderloin instead because of preference and it was so...tender.

We had it tonite for supper. It was delicious. I served it with brown rice and a veggie. That was enough for supper.

We loved these ribs. So easy in the slow cooker and tasty too. I used half the garlic (it doesn't agree with my husband) and they were still tasty and very tender.

I used boneless country ribs. This is one of the best recipes I have ever tried. We loved it!!!

I used boneless ribs and made half the recipe. It had plenty enough spice for us. Tastes are different. We loved it. I served with rice and used some of the sauce over stir fried veggies. Delicious!

This was very tasty and the meat was very tender. I will probably use a little less soy sauce next time.

We loved this recipe! Even my toddler seemed to enjoy it. If you like more kick just add more of the red pepper flakes.

My family loved it and can't wait for me to make again.

Very tasty and so tender. The only odd thing is the two people in our house that don't care for asian flavors, loved the taste. The two that do, did not care for it! I made a half recipe - worked perfectly.

Mild sauce is right, almost to the point of being bland. There is subltle Asian flavor but it was lacking something but the meat fell off the bone and the flavor wasn't bad just mild. Next time I might try playing with the spices a bit and see if I can't kick it up a notch.
