It offers a well-balanced bowl complete with essential toppings like marinated chashu pork, earthy wood ear mushrooms, and a soft-boiled egg.
Ingredients
- 1 pack MarketSide Tonkotsu Ramen Kit
- to taste water (if needed for broth adjustment)
- optional extra chopped green onions
- optional chili oil
Instructions
- 1Prepare the broth
Pour the concentrated Tonkotsu pork broth soup base into a pot. Bring the broth to a simmer over medium heat to create the rich, flavorful foundation for the ramen.
Tip: If the base is very thick, add a splash of water to reach your desired broth consistency. - 2Cook the noodles
Add the dry ramen noodles directly into the simmering broth. Cook according to the package instructions until the noodles reach your preferred texture, ensuring they absorb the flavors of the Tonkotsu base.
Tip: Keep an eye on the noodles to avoid overcooking; they should remain slightly firm or al dente. - 3Arrange vegetables
After transferring the cooked noodles and broth to a serving bowl, use tongs to neatly arrange the wood ear mushrooms and fresh bok choy on top.
Tip: Blanch the bok choy briefly if you prefer it slightly softer before adding it to the bowl. - 4Add bamboo shoots
Place the bamboo shoots into the bowl next to the greens using tongs. This adds a pleasant, crisp texture that complements the creamy broth.
Tip: Drain the bamboo shoots well before adding them to ensure the broth flavor isnt diluted. - 5Top with chashu pork
Carefully place the large piece of tender chashu pork on top of the ramen assembly. This provides a rich, savory centerpiece for the dish.
Tip: If desired, lightly sear the chashu pork in a pan before adding it to give it an extra layer of flavor.
