I'm looking to do a regular tonkotsu ramen in the near future since I feel better about making my own broth for other recipes. What are some things I cannot leave out? I will likely make a trip to the Asian Supermarket for essentials that are available there.

I made ramen before. It was a pain in the arse. You have to simmer the pork bones for 10 hours or so, make the chashu pork belly, the eggs which have to have a gelatinous yolk(I remember from the eggs in boiling water for 7.5 minutes). Then after the broth is finished simmering you have to add some kombu kelp, some dried fish.


I Just get a shin ramen black if I craving good ramen.

Make a huge batch and freeze it.

No idea how to do this, so I'll give you this one

Put in boiling water and set a timer

Sounds like regular cooking to me

That’s just to get the right yolk texture. You have to put in a marinade overnight in the fridge so the eggs can be nice and brown on the outside.

Joshua Wiseman had an excellent video on making Tokatsu ramen.
I've been meaning to try it. Ever since Kin closed i haven't had great ramen.

I get this from Amazon. More expensive than Shin Black, but the broth is so much better. I marinate soft boiled eggs in mirin and soy and add one of those. Easy to do. Boil for 7 mins and then right into an ice bath. Peel when cooled off then into mirin/soy marinade.
