A comforting Tonkotsu Ramen recipe featuring creamy, rich broth, tender chashu pork, and soft-boiled eggs, perfect for cozy nights.

Ingredients

  • Pork bones
  • Water
  • Soy sauce
  • Mirin
  • Salt
  • Chashu pork (braised pork belly)
  • Soft-boiled eggs
  • Noodles (ramen noodles)
  • Green onions
  • Nori (seaweed)
  • Bamboo shoots
  • Sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Simmer the broth by adding pork bones and water to a large pot; bring to a boil and then lower to a gentle simmer.
  2. Strain the broth once it’s rich and creamy, then return it to the pot.
  3. Add soy sauce, mirin, and salt to taste for seasoning.
  4. Prepare the chashu pork if not done yet; slow cook for melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  5. Cook the ramen noodles according to package instructions until al dente.
  6. Serve by placing cooked noodles in a bowl, pouring over hot broth, and topping with chashu, soft-boiled eggs, green onions, nori, and bamboo shoots.
  7. Drizzle with sesame oil if desired and enjoy your creation!

Notes

Use a pressure cooker to cut down on simmering time for the broth. Watch your salt usage to prevent over-salting. Aim for perfect soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks.
