In a large bowl with cold water, soak the pork ribs for 30minutes.

When the meat is already done and slightly tender, remove them from the broth. Set aside. Strain the broth in a large bowl, and discard the other ingredients from the broth.

Prepare the sauce.

In a small bowl, mix-in all the ingredients for the sauce. Set aside

Place the kimchi at the bottom of the pot.

Then place the pork ribs on top of the kimchi.

Pour the prepared sauce over the kimchi and pork ribs, and pour-in about 3~5 cups of broth.

Pour-in the kimchi juice.

Cover the pot and boil for 10 minutes on high, then boil it down for 20 more minutes on low. 

Do not stir! Occasionally scoop some stew broth and pour over the pork ribs.

*Add more broth if needed.

Add-in the potato wedges, onion, and spring onion. Boil for 30 minutes more or until the potato is completely cooked, and the kimchi becomes soft, and the pork ribs becomes very soft and very tender.

Serve with a bowl of rice, and Enjoy!
