Ingredients

Instructions

Place ribs in a 9" x 13" baking dish. Purée hoisin, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, oil, garlic, jalapeños, peppers, onions, ginger, tomatoes, paste, and salt in a blender until smooth. Pour 4 cups sauce over ribs; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Reserve remaining sauce.
Heat a charcoal grill or set a gas grill to high; bank coals or turn burner off on one side (see Grilling 101). Simmer remaining sauce in a 2-qt. saucepan until reduced by a third, 8–10 minutes. Grill ribs and, using a brush, baste with reserved sauce, turning as needed until charred in spots and tender. If outside starts to burn before ribs are fully cooked, move ribs to cooler section of the grill until done. Rest ribs 20 minutes; slice into individual ribs.
