Asian Shredded Pork

I love my crock pot, especially on work days. I have been trying to use it more to make week nights easier. Tonight I made Asian shredded pork in the good ol'crock pot. Mike and I both loved it. I would recommend using a pork butt or shoulder as I could not find boneless ribs (sort of makes it not a rib right?) and the bones in the ribs were kind of a pain to pull out once the meat was done. Best part is I have nearly all these ingredients in my kitchen at all times.

1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce (I used a tablespoon)
12 boneless country style pork ribs

Mix everything but the ribs in the crock pot. Once the sugar is dissolved add the ribs and marinade 8 hours or overnight. Drain the marinade off and cook on low for 9 hours. Drain again and shred. Serve over rice or noodles.
