Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Cook the ribs

Heat the oven to 400ºF. Line a sheet pan [2 sheet pans] with foil.

Place the pork spare ribs on a large sheet [2 large sheets] of foil and sprinkle with 2 to 3 tablespoons [4 to 6 TBL] water. Bring 2 opposite sides of the foil to the center and fold them together several times to create a tight seam. Fold up each end to form a tight seal.

Place the foil packet[s] on the lined sheet pan[s], sealed side up, and cook for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil. Spread the orange glaze over the ribs, return to the oven, and cook with the foil unwrapped until the ribs are heated through and glazed, about 5 minutes; a metal knife inserted into the center for 30 seconds should come out hot to the touch, or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 165ºF. Remove the ribs from the oven and let cool slightly.

While the ribs are cooking, prepare the rice.

Cook the rice

Rinse the rice.

In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1¼ cups [2¼ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm.

While the rice is cooking, prepare the salad.

Make the salad

Peel the cucumber if desired; cut the cucumber in half lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise on the diagonal.
Peel off the strings from the celery if desired; thinly slice the celery on the diagonal.
Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal, keeping the white and green parts separate.
Coarsely chop the cilantro.
If using, slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, then thinly slice on the diagonal. Wash your hands after handling.

In a large bowl, toss the cucumber, celery, white parts of the scallions, cilantro, and as much jalapeño as you like with the Asian vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt.

Serve

Transfer the ribs, rice, and tiger salad to individual plates. Garnish with the sesame seeds and green parts of the scallions and serve.
