Fill a large pot with plenty of water and bring it to a boil. Add Prime Rib Of Pork and some salt. Once it returns to a boil, let it cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the ribs, rinse them under water, and discard the cooking liquid.
Clean the pot or use a new one. Add the pork ribs, 5 cups of water, a shallot, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, and cover the pot. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
While the ribs are simmering, peel and cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Peel and roll-cut the carrots into pieces slightly smaller than the potato cubes.
Simmer the ribs until they are almost tender, about 40-60 minutes or more, depending on the ribs and your stovetop.
Increase the heat and add the carrots, bringing the water back to a boil. Then add the potatoes. Once the water starts boiling again, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until all the ingredients are tender, about 10 more minutes.
Increase the heat to bring the soup to a boil, add the tomato (if using), and cook for about a minute. Add fish sauce and adjust the seasoning to taste.
Turn off the heat, add plenty of cilantro, and transfer the soup to serving bowls. Sprinkle with black pepper before serving.
