Recipe Background
I've made all kinds of hot pots, but I always thought it was impossible to recreate a pork bone (tonkotsu) broth at home. After lots of trial and error, I finally found this combination of common seasonings that tastes just like tonkotsu—without using pork bones!

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, combine all the [Basic Broth] ingredients and bring to a simmer. If using dried wood ear mushrooms, soak them in warm water to rehydrate first.

  2. 2

    Once the broth comes to a boil, add the pork and gently separate the slices as they cook.

  3. 3

    When the pork is cooked through, turn off the heat. Push the pork to the side, cut the other toppings into bite-sized pieces, and arrange them nicely in the pot.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook over medium heat until the broth increases and the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Uncover, pour in the [Add-in Broth] ingredients, stir gently, and bring to a simmer. Finish by adding the [Finishing Garnishes] and your choice of toppings. Enjoy!

  6. 6

    This time, I topped it with chashu pork, marinated eggs, and menma—classic ramen toppings. Gyoza, pickled ginger, or roasted seaweed are also great additions!

  7. 7

    Tonkotsu soy sauce broth is perfect for ramen! Use your favorite noodles, but I recommend thick Chinese-style noodles cooked just until tender.
