Grilled Baby Back Ribs With Spicy Peanut Shake
- 2/3 cup dry-roasted peanuts, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon roasted sesame oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons chile powder
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
- 2 racks of baby back ribs, about 2 1/4 pounds each
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed is best)
- 2 tablespoons minced ginger
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 1. Make the shake: Combine the peanuts, sesame oil and chile powder in a small bowl and mix well, then put in a saute pan over medium-low heat and toast, tossing occasionally, until light brown and very fragrant, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. When the mixture has cooled to room temperature, stir in the scallions and set aside.
- 2. Meanwhile, build a fire in your grill; when the coals are all covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium low (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for about 7 seconds), you're ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium low.)
- 3. Sprinkle the ribs generously with salt and pepper, put them on the grill directly over the coals, and cook until a peek inside shows that the meat no longer has any pink at the center, about 10 to 12 minutes per side.
- 4. While the ribs are grilling, prepare all the remaining ingredients but keep in separate containers.
- 5. Take the racks of ribs off the grill, cut them into individual ribs, and put them in a large bowl. Add the hoisin, soy, orange juice and ginger one after another and toss with spirit. Lay the ribs out on a platter, sprinkle with the spicy peanut shake and serve.
