Jiro-style ramen with InstantPot

Jiro-style Ramen is one of the most popular genres of ramen in Japan nowadays. It is unique and addictive. The many fans of such a ramen in Japan have attempted to replicate the bowl at home. Many of those recipes take a lot of effort, and I didn't have enough energy to do them. I found a YouTube video about cooking the Jiro-style ramen with a rice cooker (You can find the video in "おっくんの宅飲みグルメ" channel and the title is "【非乳化】二郎オタクが作る、世界一簡単な家二郎 "). This inspired me, and I have already tried the recipe three times. This recipe has been adjusted to fit things available in the UK.

Steps
- 1
Get ingredients together and prepare InstantPot
- 2
Wash veggies. Especially remove soil attached on leek
- 3
Cut the large garlic bulb into half with skins. Cut the cabbage into half and remove its core. Score the leek and cut or snap it to fit in the pot.
- 4
Remove rind (skin) and fat layer from the pork joint and leave them aside
- 5
Pack pork meat, rind and veggies into InstantPot's pot
- 6
Add the condiments: 280 ml soy sauce, 150 ml mirin, 2 tbsp Ajinomoto, 1 tsp salt, and 1.2 litre water to cover the ingredients. Arrange ingredients to let them soak in the soup
- 7
Start the InstantPot with high pressure for 25-35 minutes. Leave the pressure to drop naturally. 25 minutes of cooking keeps the meat firm in texture, and 35 minutes for more tender. It's up to you. If the fat on the rind doesn't become jelly-like, put the lid back on and cook it for another 10 minutes or so.
- 8
When InstantPot finishes, remove the joint meat and rind with tongs and a cooking ladle. Cool down them on a chopping board.
- 9
Remove the veggies from the soup with a strainer and pour it into a regular pot to heat. Cooked veggies in the soup can be thrown away; they have no use in this recipe. Let me know if you have ideas for reusing it.
- 10
Remove fat from the rind with a tablespoon and put it in a bowl. Crush them in the bowl with the spoon to make toppings. Slice the pork joint thick.
- 11
(You can do this step while cooking soup and meat with InstantPot): Prepare hot water with pots to boil veggies and noodles. I'd recommend using two separate pots for each. Alternatively, you can cook cabbage and beansprouts in the microwave.
- 12
Cook veggies briefly
- 13
Chop a few cloves of garlic
- 14
Boil ramen noodles. I used Yutaka's frozen ramen noodles. Thick ramen noodles are preferable, though!
- 15
When everything is ready, serve them as you like. You should put noodles in a bowl, pour soup, and then add any toppings as you like.
- 16
Enjoy the ramen!
- 17
(Option) - If you like thick noodles like the original ramen Jiro, I recommend boiling linguine pasta with baking soda. Boiling 100g of pasta with 1 tbsp of baking soda in 1 litre of boiling water will make ramen noodles.

Edit: After pressure cooking, I split the soup into two and then put 5 tbsp red miso, sesame oil, and extra grated ginger in one. This was a huge win. I'd rather cook miso version next time.
