Method
Sprinkle ribs with salt and pepper; set aside.

Using slotted spoon, transfer ribs and onion to platter; cover loosely with foil. Transfer liquid in slow cooker to medium saucepan; bring to boil.
Cook until reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Whisk cornstarch with 1 tbsp water; whisk into sauce. Boil, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 30 seconds. Pour over ribs; sprinkle with green onions.
