1 medium onion, quartered
1 tbsp. peppercorns
fish sauce (patis)
half of a large head of cabbage, quartered
2 potatoes, quartered
2 carrots, cut in 4 pieces/carrot

How to cook:

1. Line the spare ribs on a rack in a single layer. Place a tray beneath the rack to catch the dripping. Broil the spare ribs for 15 to 20 minutes.
2. In a casserole, pour about eight cups of water. Add the onion and peppercorns. Bring to a boil.
4. Add the broiled spare ribs in the casserole. Season with fish sauce. Cover and bring to a boil. You will notice that scum will not form on the broth.
5. When the pork is almost done,  add the carrots, potatoes and cabbage.
6. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are done.
