Broth

Method

Prepare the Broth

  1. 1

    Make the Tonkatsu 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 foam that rises to the surface.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Add the ginger, garlic cloves (crushed), soy sauce, and miso paste to the pot. Simmer the broth for about 3 hours, adding water as needed to keep the bones covered.

  3. 3

    Season the Broth

    Once simmered, strain the broth to remove the solids. Return the broth to the pot and season with salt to taste. Keep warm on low heat.

Prepare Noodles and Toppings

  1. 4

    Cook Udon Noodles

    In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and cook the udon noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 5

    Blanch Vegetables

    In the same pot, blanch the spinach, carrots, edamame, mushrooms, and cabbage for about 2-3 minutes until just tender. Remove and set aside.

  3. 6

    Cook Shrimp and Dumplings

    In a pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes until pink. In the same pan, add the pork dumplings and cook according to package instructions.

Assemble the Bowl

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, add a portion of udon noodles, followed by the blanched vegetables, cooked shrimp, and pork dumplings.

  2. 8

    Add Broth

    Ladle the hot tonkatsu broth over the assembled ingredients in the bowl.

  3. 9

    Garnish

    Top with sliced jalapeno, drizzle with chili oil, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
