Instructions
  1. Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk the tahini, soy sauce powder, sesame oil, sugar, rice wine vinegar powder, ginger powder, pepper, Sriracha powder and water until smooth. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the sauce and refrigerate. Add the shrimp to the remaining marinade and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
  2. Grill the shrimp: Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for medium-hot cooking or place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the grates or grill pan with 1 teaspoon of the canola oil. Remove the shrimp from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and season with the kosher salt. Grill the shrimp in 2 batches, flipping once, until charred and cooked through, 1½ to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate and chill.
  3. Wipe the grill clean and prepare for medium-hot cooking. Season the mango and tomato with salt and pepper, and grill, turning once, until charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside and chill.
  4. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil, add the soba noodles and cook until al dente, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water to stop them from cooking. Transfer them to a paper-towel lined baking sheet to dry.
  5. Remove the mango and tomato from the fridge and roughly chop. Set aside.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning of the reserved marinade, thinning it out with water as needed. In a large bowl, toss the marinade and noodles to coat evenly. Add the shrimp, mango, tomato, half of the scallions, basil and half of the sesame seeds. Divide the noodles among 4 to 6 plates and top each with some of the remaining scallions and sesame seeds, and serve.

Instructions
  1. Bake the ribs: Preheat oven to 350°. Arrange a double layer of foil on a rimmed baking sheet so foil hangs over sides. Place a large sheet of parchment paper on foil. Season ribs all over with 1 1/2 Tbsp. salt and pepper.
  2. Place 1 rack of ribs, bone side up, on parchment. Arrange sliced lemon, rosemary sprigs, and sliced garlic over. Lay remaining rack over, bone side down, creating a pocket between the racks. (The seasonings in the center will infuse the meat as it bakes.)
  3. Cover ribs with another sheet of parchment; crimp edges to seal. (The parchment seals in flavor and prevents the acid from the lemons from reacting with the foil.) Wrap ribs tightly with foil to form a tight seal (use extra foil, if necessary, to completely enclose ribs, and crimp edges together to tightly seal).
  4. Bake ribs for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from oven and let rest at room temperature, still sealed in foil, for 1 hour. (Do not open; ribs will continue to cook and become tender.)
  5. Carefully open foil. Transfer ribs to a platter or another baking sheet; discard lemon slices and rosemary sprigs. Pour pork juices into a measuring cup. Add water if needed to measure a scant 1 cup. DO AHEAD: Ribs can be made 3 days ahead. Wrap in foil and chill. Cover and chill juices separately.
  6. Bring reserved pork juices, minced rosemary, grated garlic, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, and lemon zest to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk cornstarch and 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl for slurry. Whisk slurry into juices to thicken (the glaze should just coat the back of a spoon). Season glaze with salt and pepper and more lemon juice, if desired. DO AHEAD: Glaze can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Gently rewarm before using.
  7. Preheat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Cut between bones to separate ribs. Transfer ribs to prepared baking sheet and broil, turning occasionally, until beginning to brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with warm glaze. Sprinkle with scallions and shichimi togarashi.
