Coming home to a delicious, slow-cooked, Asian-inspired dinner is my favorite!
Coming home from a long day at work without having dinner prepped is sometimes like having to start your workday all over again. It’s easier — and worth it in the long run — to take a few minutes in the morning to prep a tasty dish that’s ready by the time you get home from work. Thankfully, you can have truly flavorful slow cooker Asian short ribs without a ton of hassle after a long day. This easy dish takes just 20 minutes to prep, cooks on its own in just 9 hours while you continue about your day (or 3-4 if you want it quickly), and pairs great when laid over a nice bed of hot, steamed rice. Enjoy!
