Instructions

  1. 1

    Blanch the pork bones in boiling water for 10 minutes to remove impurities, then rinse them clean under cold water.

  2. 2

    Place the cleaned bones in a large stockpot, cover with water, and boil vigorously at a rolling boil for 10-12 hours, topping up water as needed until the broth is milky white and rich with emulsified fat.

  3. 3

    Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean pot and keep it at a rolling simmer.

  4. 4

    Prepare bowls by adding 2 tablespoons of tare (seasoning sauce) to the bottom of each warmed bowl.

  5. 5

    Boil the fresh ramen noodles in a separate pot of rapidly boiling water for 1-2 minutes until al dente, then drain them vigorously.

  6. 6

    Pour the piping hot tonkotsu broth into the bowls, gently fold in the noodles, and carefully arrange sliced chashu, halved soft-boiled eggs, green onions, and a sheet of nori on top before serving.
