For an extra layer of depth, consider browning the short ribs in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of garlic and spices to suit your personal taste preferences. Serve these Polynesian-inspired short ribs over a bed of fluffy rice or creamy mashed potatoes, and garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions for a vibrant finishing touch.
