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!
