Prepare the kimchi by mixing cabbage, carrots, radish, chili flakes, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and salt in a bowl.

Massage the vegetables until they soften and release liquid, about 5-10 minutes.

Pack the mixture into a jar, pressing down to eliminate air pockets, and seal tightly.

Let the kimchi ferment at room temperature for 1-2 days, then refrigerate.

Marinate the pork ribs in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and pepper for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Remove the ribs from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off.

Grill the ribs for 5-7 minutes on each side, until caramelized and cooked through.

Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve the grilled ribs with a side of homemade kimchi and garnish with chopped green onions.
