Main

1.Place ribs in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil over high heat, drain and discard water. Return to pan, cover with 5 litres cold water, add ginger, spring onion, star anise and cassia bark. Bring to the simmer over low heat and cook until beef is tender (3-3½ hours).
2.Remove ribs with a slotted spoon and set aside. Strain broth through a fine sieve into a clean saucepan (discard solids), season to taste with sea salt, keep warm.
3.Cook noodles in boiling salted water until tender (3-4 minutes), drain and divide among bowls. Add ribs and kimchi, top with broth and serve scattered with bean sprouts and extra spring onion.
