Our signature Tonkotsu Pork Broth with six slices of mouth-watering braised pork belly

In a large pot, add the pork belly and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 2 hours, skimming off any impurities that rise to the surface.

Prepare the Broth

Add soy sauce, mirin, sake, ginger, garlic, and green onions to the pot. Let it simmer for an additional 1 hour.

Season the Broth

In a separate pot, cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Noodles

Remove the pork belly from the broth and let cool slightly. Slice into 6 pieces and return to the broth to soak for an additional 30 minutes.

Prepare Chashu Pork

In a bowl, place a serving of ramen noodles, ladle the broth over the top, and add slices of chashu pork, soft-boiled eggs, nori sheets, bamboo shoots, and drizzle with chashu sauce.
