Separate ribs by cutting between each rib section, leaving meat on both sides of the bone.

Place the ribs in a large pot, cover with water, and soak for 1 hour. Discard water.

Cover with fresh water, add sliced ginger, and bring to a boil over high heat.

Boil for ten minutes, remove from heat, and discard water.

Rinse in cold water and drain well.

Boneless country style:

Cut into cubes, very lightly salt each side, and let stand ten minutes.

Thick slice the onion.

Finely chop green onion/scallion

Optional Ingredients:

Peel and rinse the potatoes. Cut in 1 inch cubes and rinse again.
