Step 1
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add pork ribs and boil 2 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 2
Return rinsed pork to the pot with fresh water, gochujang, potato chunks, and smashed garlic. Bring to a rolling boil.
Step 3
Lower heat to medium and simmer uncovered until pork is tender and potato is soft, about 12–15 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in perilla leaves and simmer 30 seconds until wilted. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Ladle into bowls and serve hot. Pork bones are meant to be gnawed; provide small spoons and napkins.
