Method
1
Mix together all the ingredients for the marinade, and cover the ribs in it thoroughly. Leave the ribs to marinate overnight in the fridge, or for at least an hour
2
Set up your barbecue – preheat the barbecue to 160ºC and install the heat deflectors at the bottom, with the cooking grates over the top and your rib rack on top
3
Remove the ribs from the marinade and wipe off any excess. Stack them in the rib rack, baste with the excess marinade and close the lid. Slow cook the pork ribs for the next 3–4 hours, brushing them regularly with the marinade
4
When the ribs are done the meat should tear easily from the bone. Remove them from the barbecue, and rest them under a sheet of tin foil for 15 minutes
5
Meanwhile, make your salad. Take the daikon, radish, spring onion greens and pear and dunk them into ice water for a couple of minutes to crisp them up, then drain
6
Mix the peanut oil and rice wine vinegar to make a light dressing. Season to taste, and toss with your salad
7
Slice the ribs up into portions and plate with the salad. Finish with a sprinkle of roasted peanuts and some coriander leaves
