Hi! Sounds delicious. Can’t wait to try.
You mention a special soy sauce at the end with different types of seasonings? What kind did you mean?

Also at then end you mention to keep the broth to make a great soup. I love soup! I couldn’t find the recipe on your pages. Can you send me a link?

Thanks!

Ahhhh that one, we call Mat-ganjang. It’s seasoned soy sauce, basically soy sauce cooked with vegetables, fruits and more seasoning, so you can use it for any propose in the kitchen. Mostly it flavored with garlic, ginger, onion, black pepper, apple, pear and sugar.
I normally make ramen noodle soup, there is no recipe because I use store bought semi-fresh ramen and instead using water, I use the broth. 🙂
Hope this helps!

Hi Seonkyong!

If I am using spare ribs instead of baby ribs, how would I adjust the cooking time?
I know that it would take longer but approximately how long should I be cooking them for?

Thanks for your help!
Love your recipes 🙂

You can do many different things with it! For example, just recently when I cooked this, I used the left over broth for my ramen broth and it was amazing!
