A rich and comforting classic tonkotsu ramen recipe featuring creamy pork broth and traditional toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups pork broth (tonkotsu-style or rich chicken broth)
  • 2 packs fresh ramen noodles
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon miso paste (optional, for depth)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 4 slices chashu pork (or roasted pork belly)
  • 2 soft-boiled eggs (jammy center)
  • 1 sheet nori, halved
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons bamboo shoots
  • Chili oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring broth to a gentle simmer. Stir in soy sauce, miso paste, and sesame oil. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  2. Cook ramen noodles according to package instructions until just tender. Drain.
  3. Divide noodles between two deep bowls.
  4. Pour hot broth over noodles.
  5. Arrange chashu pork slices on top.
  6. Slice soft-boiled eggs in half and place gently into the bowl.
  7. Add bamboo shoots, green onions, and nori.
  8. Drizzle with chili oil if desired and serve immediately while steaming hot.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook noodles—they continue cooking in broth.
  • Marinate eggs in soy sauce overnight for deeper flavor.
  • Keep broth hot but not boiling to preserve richness.
