Step 1
Bring 6 cups water to boil in a large pot. Add pork bones and boil hard for 2 minutes, then drain and rinse.
Step 2
Return pork to clean pot with 6 cups fresh water. Bring to boil, then reduce to medium and simmer 8 minutes.
Step 3
Add potatoes, gochugaru, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Stir well and simmer until potatoes are tender, ~8 minutes.
Step 4
Taste and adjust seasoning with soy sauce or gochugaru. Soup should be deep red and spicy-savory.
Step 5
Ladle soup into bowls. Serve with baechu kimchi and kkakdugi on the side, plus a small cup of dipping sauce (gochujang thinned with water and sugar).
