Transfer the ribs to the slow cooker. Stir to coat the ribs with the sauce.
Cover and slow cook until ribs are tender. About 5 to 6 hours at 200 degrees (low).
Transfer the ribs to a platter and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm. Skim the fat from the surface of the sauce.
In a medium saucepan bring the sauce to a simmer over a medium heat. Cook until reduced to about 1 cup, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook just until thickened. Pour the sauce over ribs and serve immediately with hot cooked rice.
