Tonkotsu Ramen

Tonkotsu ramen is a rich and soulful noodle soup that hails from the Hakata district of Fukuoka, Japan. Its defining feature is its incredibly rich, creamy, and opaque pork bone broth, which is achieved by boiling pork bones for many hours until the collagen and fat emulsify into the soup. While a true Tonkotsu broth is a labor of love, this simplified recipe gives you a taste of that deep, savory flavor in a fraction of the time. It’s a hearty and satisfying meal, with chewy ramen noodles, tender slices of pork, a perfectly jammy soft-boiled egg, and a sprinkle of fresh scallions. It’s the perfect project for a weekend when you want to dive deep into the world of ramen.
