STEP 2 Remove cooked ribs and place into a freezable container leaving the liquid in the slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with ¼ cup water and stir into the sauce in the slow cooker. Cover, and cook an additional 10 min. or until sauce has thickened. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer on top of the ribs. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Allow pork ribs to cool to room temperature and place the container in the freezer.
