Step 1
If using pork neck bones, soak in cold water for 1 hour to remove excess blood and smell. If using pork ribs, no need to soak.
Step 2
If using pork ribs, start boiling the pork now. If using pork neck bones, prepare below while soaking.
Step 3
Boil pork bones in a pot. Add enough water to cover the pork, add a splash of cooking sake/mirin/white wine, 1 Tbsp of pepper corns, 1 knob of ginger and 1/2 Tbsp of ground coffee. Bring to boil on medium high heat and then cook on medium heat for 10 minutes. Drain. Add the pork (only not the liquid) back into the pot.
Step 4
Peel potatoes and cut into big chunks about 1.5 inch cube.

Make seasoning sauce by mixing in Gochujang, Deonjang, chopped garlic, grated ginger, gukganjang, anchovy sauce, ground perilla seeds, black pepper, cooking sake and red chili powder.
Step 10
In the pot with pre-cooked pork, add 5 cups water and the seasoning sauce.
