How to make Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen 豚骨ラーメン

Hello! In this video, I will show you how to make Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen (Pork Bone Soup Ramen) from scratch. Tonkotsu ramen (豚骨ラーメン) originated in Fukuoka on the Kyushu island of Japan. The soup broth is based on pork bones and other ingredients, which are boiled for long hours, and served with ramen noodles that are hard in the center. It is the most popular type of Ramen in Japan as well as Japanese restaurants all over the world. There are many famous Japanese Ramen restaurants that uses mainly Tonkotsu Ramen like Ippudo, Ichiran, and Kaneda-ya.
In my recipe, the ramen broth is made with 100% Tonkotsu Soup (Pork Bone Soup) boiled for about 5 hours. This method of cooking the soup creates more concentrated taste as well as a thicker consistency. The ramen sauce (Tare) is made from mussels and adds umami and dimension. The hand-made ramen noodles were cut thinly, using lesser water content to let the noodles absorb the tonkotsu soup flavours. The main topping is Aburi Chashu (Seared Chashu), which adds smokiness and sweetness to the enjoyment of this ramen.
As always I did not use any MSG in my ramen recipe, however the ramen retains umami and was creamy, comforting and very enjoyable.

Hope you enjoy this recipe! :) P.S: - Store the chashu in the refrigerator instead. - The pork bones I use for boiling soup are pre-boiled once. - It is difficult to substitute sake kasu, alternately check out the recipe for Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen

[@KuhmKnight]

Would mirin work instead of sake

[@iiheartyou13]

Do I have to pre boil the bones?

[@KuhmKnight]

@@iiheartyou13 nope, just soak them in water for a few hours to get the blood and gunk off them

Is this just for one plate of ramen? Or will I be able to get several dishes from this? Thanks for the video

[@xggirlz1875]

I just made ramen using this exact recipe and it is absolutely incredible!!! I was honestly scared that all the hard work to try this recipe was going to amount to an 6/10 ramen, but it definitely came out a 10/10. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your delicious recipe AND being so specific and detailed! I am excited for seeing more of your content :) Unlike other channels, this ramen came out exactly as how it was shown here. The color was perfect and the flavor was on point (definitely not too salty or fake creamy like others). The noodles had the perfect chewiness and classic ramen taste. My only concern is the amount of sodium in this and wish that there was a just-as-flavorful low-sodium version. In cases you’re also trying this recipe and maybe were hesitant or wondering these things, - regular pasta roller works great! Mine is in a scale of 1-8, and I rolled it to a 5, and then used the small cutter. - I’m weak af, so I couldn’t get the noodle dough to look like the picture until I put it in a ziplock bag and stepped on it (then folding it over and stepping again) for 10 minutes - I used regular soy sauce (sorry chef!) because I didn’t have the ones specified, and it turned out fine. Maybe it would taste even better with the mentioned soy sauces. - this recipe probably makes about 7-12 servings Ah! I cannot express how awesome and helpful your channel is!!

[@RAMENKAONASHI]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoy this recipe, please try more and feel free to tag me if you post on Instagram so I can see how it turns out! :)

[@dizzywillow9645]

how many portions did it make? I am going to try and make this too, just wondering if it'll serve 4 or more people.

[@xGGirlz]

@@dizzywillow9645 Following the recipes measurements, I was able to get 7 full servings of ramen, but this really depends on how much you consider a serving. If you’ve been to ippudo, I would say my serving size is about 3/4 of theirs. Also, I’d recommend making 1.5x the amount of ramen! I had a bit of soup left over after the ramen was finished, and other noodles just don’t do the soup justice

[@stevanyly511]

Hi thanks for sharing, did it taste similar to ichiran ramen ? 😋

[@TheClime]

Just tried the recipe and it turned out great! Tasted amazing and the color turned out exactly like the video. Some notes if people are looking to try this recipe: - I was able to make about 8 servings (cooked mine a few hours longer for a creamier broth) - If you have time, I would *highly* recommend giving your broth some time to sit on the stove. The video doesn't lie when it says cook for longer if you want a creamier, white broth. - I used Kikkoman dark soy sauce and light soy sauce as substitutes. I could only find the soy sauce in the video online, but the sauce turned out great regardless! - I couldn't find mussels so I made a dashi out of kombu, bonito flakes, and shiitake mushrooms instead. - Used store bought ramen noodles. Still great but I know they'd be better with freshly homemade ones. - Added a soft-boiled egg to mine since eggs are a must for me Overall, this was a successful recipe that I'll continue to make in the future. A major benefit I found from tonkotsu broth is that it stores really well since it solidifies in the fridge. Talk about leftovers?! The kids loved it!

Pork bones are super cheap, flour is cheap, pork belly is cheap, toppings are cheap, water is free. Soy sauce is also cheap in Asian markets. The only kind of more expensive ingredients are mirin and sake. You can make some bowls for friends dinner for 10 or 20 bucks, it's barely eating out for one single person.

[@janpospisilm]

@@fmls8266 Also bonito flakes are very expensive, he used mussels insted, but again, those are quite expensive as well. You say bones are cheap, thats true, but how many do you need for a bowl? 1kg in everage? We are at 5x price of ..lets say beef stew soup.

[@Tufarock]

@@janpospisilm bonito flakes are expensive? And I thought I was cheap!

[@tylergannon7398]

@@fmls8266 He used different kinds of mirin, sake, salt, and soy sauce so you’d need to buy at least two variants for each ingredient if you want it authentic I mean you could probably just substitute what we have available though

[@loganpriest6029]

@@janpospisilm you can actually pick up 100gms of katsuobushi from your Asian market for like 2 dollars. Not too bad. To make ramen isn't that expensive. But it's time consuming. But what you get is such a nice experience all that hard work is gratifying, it really is.

I love ramen so much but sadly there are not many great places close by that make it well. I have attempted to make it myself a couple of times and I have only come close to reproducing the amazing flavor I am looking for. A part from time I have had trouble figuring out what I am missing and after watching your video as well as others I think I realize what that is now. I want to be able to add something to the recipe that is unique but also pairs very well with the other ingredients. In other words, I need to add another element of flavor since I realized that many ramen chefs actually have secret ingredients that make their ramen so much better. Watching how different your recipe is from everything that I know has given me that insight and I think that I can really make some good ramen now; so thank you for this video as it was extremely well done! Also, I think I have an issue with knowing the amount of time I need to cook everything; especially the broth. On top of that my broth sometimes comes out either bland or too salty. I am attempting to make it differently now and I have added some ingredients that I have never used before so I hope I do better this time. By the way, here are the ingredients that I am working with just in case any one was curious or had any ideas as to what else I could add. Broth: 1. Pork neck bones 2. Pork trotters/feet 3. Chicken carcass 4. Pork back fat 5. Pork belly skin 6. Water of course Aromatic component of broth 6. Apples 7. Onions 8. Garlic 9. Ginger Tare: 1. Light soy sauce 2. Dark soy sauce 3. Mirin 4. Sake 5. Star Anise (ground) 6. maybe sugar (haven't decided yet) Dashi: 1. Water (of course) 2. Bonito flakes 3. Kombu Toppings: 1. Chashu (Skinless pork belly + same seasonings for Tare + garlic + Ginger + Green onions) 2. Ajitsuke Tamago (same seasonings as Tare) 3. Green onions 4. Chili thread 5. Ground sesame
