Description
Japanese ramen soup with a creamy broth made from pork bones - the king of ramens. The bones are simmered for 12-18 hours, releasing collagen to create a creamy, rich broth. Served with ramen noodles, ajitsuke egg, chashu (pork belly), nori, and green onions. Deep umami and a velvety texture - the essence of Japanese street food. It takes time, but the result is unmatched.

Tips
Serve tonkotsu ramen in large, deep bowls to keep the broth warm. Garnish the dish with fresh chives, and you can also serve chili oil as a spicy accent. Set the table with chopsticks and soup spoons.
Leftover tonkotsu ramen is best stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The broth can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, it's best to use the stove, heating the broth and noodles separately.
