Step 1: Clean the arrowroot and carrot, peel the skin and cut into chunks. (You may keep the skin of the arrowroot because some said the skin have more nutrition but I’m not sure how true is it)

Step 2: Put the pork ribs into a pot of water and bring to boil, to remove blood and impurities. Remove, drain and set aside.
