Soak the ribs in clean water for about 30 minutes, then thoroughly strain and dry.
Then prepare a wok, add oil, and fry the pork ribs until golden brown and aromatic. Be patient, this may take several minutes.
Add boiling water, slices of ginger, and half of the chili peppers. Cover the lid and cook for 15 minutes, until the ribs are cooked through. Then pick the peppers out and discard them.
Add the remaining fresh peppers and garlic. Season with salt, light soy sauce, and white pepper, and continue heating for around 5 minutes to thicken the soup.
