Instructions

To prepare noodles, in a saucepan heat the oils, pepper, honey, peanut butter, and teriyaki sauce.  Bring to a boil and stir until blended together. Pour over the cooked pasta. Cool. Stir in the onions, ½ bunch finely chopped cilantro, and sunflower seeds.

To prepare Kona Coffee Rub, in a small bowl combine Kona coffee, Hawaiian sea salt, brown sugar, paprika, fresh ground black pepper, dry onion flakes, garlic powder, ground coriander, and thyme, then mix well.  In a large bowl coat the ribs with the jalapeno sauce and use enough of the rub mixture to lightly coat all ribs. Place in a gallon Ziploc bag and marinate several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. In a hot skillet or a hot grill pan quickly cook the short bibs turning once. Set aside.

To prepare salad, combine Romaine lettuce, carrots, red cabbafe, red and yellow sweet peppers, 1/2 bunch cilantro, and broccoli flowerets.  Set aside.

In a large glass trifle bowl alternate the salad, ribs, and noodles in attractive layers.

Serve oriental dressing over the trifle or on the side. Top with One-Ton chips.
