Recipe 1: Tonkotsu Ramen

Ingredients:

For the Broth:

• 2 pounds pork bones (neck, knuckles, or femur)
• 1 pound chicken carcasses
• 1 onion, halved
• 1 head garlic, halved
• 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, sliced
• 2 leeks, cut into chunks
• 10 cups water
• 2 tbsp white miso paste
• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• Nori sheets (seaweed)
• Bean sprouts
• Green onions, finely chopped

For the Noodles:

• 4 servings of fresh ramen noodles (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Broth:
   • Rinse pork bones and chicken carcasses under cold water. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Skim off any scum.
   • Add onion, garlic, ginger, and leeks to the pot. Reduce heat and simmer for 8–12 hours, adding water as needed to keep the ingredients submerged.
   • Strain the broth, discard solids, and return the liquid to the pot. Stir in miso paste, soy sauce, and salt. Keep warm on low heat.
2. Prepare the Chashu Pork:
   • Roll a slab of pork belly tightly and tie with kitchen twine. Sear the outside until golden brown.
   • Simmer in a mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and water for 1.5–2 hours. Slice thinly once cooled.
3. Cook the Noodles:
   • Boil ramen noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
4. Assemble the Bowl:
   • Divide cooked noodles into bowls. Ladle hot broth over the noodles.
   • Top with slices of chashu pork, half a marinated egg, a sheet of nori, bean sprouts, and green onions. Serve immediately.
