Grate the pear (an apple works too) into a bowl and stir in the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.
Put the short ribs in the slow cooker and pour the sauce over them.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours until the meat slides off the bone.
Lift out the ribs and skim the fat from the sauce. Pour the sauce into a saucepan, whisk in the cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water, and simmer 3-5 minutes until glossy.
Cook the rice. Serve the ribs over rice with the sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds.
