Tonkotsu Ramen Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, combine the pork bones and water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface. Simmer for 24 hours, adding more water as needed to maintain the liquid level.

  2. 2

    Season the Broth

    After 24 hours, strain the broth to remove the bones. Return the broth to the pot and add soy sauce and mirin. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Noodles

    Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add the ramen noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Ramen Bowl

    In a serving bowl, place a portion of the cooked noodles. Ladle the hot broth over the noodles. Top with chashu pork, sweet corn, butter, scallions, and a soft boiled egg. Drizzle with chili oil and add nori if desired.
