Step 1
Blanch the 1.5 lb pork ribs in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain and rinse to remove scum.
Step 2
In a large pot, combine the ribs, 6 cups water, 2 inch sliced ginger, 6 smashed garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp black pepper. Bring to a boil.
Step 3
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the ribs are tender and the broth is fragrant, about 20 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the 2 tbsp soy sauce and simmer for 2 more minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
Step 5
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or sliced chili if desired.
