Tonkotsu Ramen

[hannahTHEperson]

I've read recipes for this countless times, but seeing it done actually makes it a lot easier for me to try myself :) thank you for taking the time to make this video, look forward to more from you!

[powerplantop]

@hannahTHEperson Thank you for the nice words.

I can defently say to boil the bones in 20 hours is not wrong but defently too much around 7-10 hours is really good 20 hours toooooooooooooooooo much

[Jayeeyee]

@ZZaiBoT2011 That's where you're wrong ZZaibot. You should Wiki Tonkotsu ramen and educate yourself before you post a comment. Famous ramen shops invest 60 hours or more into their Tonkotsu broth. Which is why some cost up to $20 or more for a bowl. A properly prepared Tonkotsu broth will taste very rich and creamy in flavor. This is my favorite broth/soup of all time and I regularly cook this for myself and I boil mine for almost 40 hours.

[ZZaiBoT2011]

@Jayeeyee I know i didnt say it is wrong to cook the bones longer time. OFC it is better to cook them longer time but i said it will be okay if you cook it around 10+ hours

[jlee562]

I dont need a white guy telling me how to make an asian dish! just kidding. it looks really good!

[lycheesack]

Hi, I never made pork broth before but why did you throw the first broth away did it taste funny?

[powerplantop]

@lycheesack To get rid of the blood that comes out. It will give an off taste and makes the broth a different color.

[nielsf]

What was the spice you added after the spicy miso?

Micato karo?

[powerplantop]

@nielsf For the spicy miso I used miso, Korean red pepper flakes and soy sauce,

[nielsf]

@powerplantop

Thank you for telling me ^^

[YoungKoolness17]

@powerplantop can the bone be any part of the pig?

[powerplantop]

@YoungKoolness17 Yes

[ZZaiBoT2011]

@powerplantop if you maybe have maked a tonkotsu ramen if you place miso in it it be a miso ramen very easy.

[ZZaiBoT2011]

@powerplantop you will cook the bones for around 7 hours then it is perfekt

[weicc84]

nicely done. if you want to cut down the time in broth process, i would suggest using pressure cooker after you rid of the foam.

[powerplantop]

A crock pot would work good for this.

[Meddlmoe]

can I use a crock pot? My stove turns off after 30 minutes, so having it on over night is impossible.

[Stanjai]

I am so happy for finding this rare video. Bravo!! Please have more videos on ramen!

[powerplantop]

@Stanjai Thank you. It is good but takes a long time to make the broth.

[The656]

thanks for making this video, there isnt a lot of them up on this recipe and it helped a lot

[skymailer37]

So awesome that you love Asian food to this level! Keep up the great work my friend!

[LegendaryGoldDragon]

Kochi Karu?

[powerplantop]

@LegendaryGoldDragon Gochugaru Korean red pepper flakes



[LegendaryGoldDragon]

This would almost be like a Pork Pho with some Salt, Sugar/Soysauce and Star Anice. (^_^)

[powerplantop]

@LegendaryGoldDragon That would make a nice Pho.....Maybe next time I make a batch I will split it up and see how it works.

[Herby011]

Hi, where did you buy your black-Ramen-Soup-Bowl? @6:11

[powerplantop]

@Herby011 I got it from Winchester Farmer's Market in Memphis, TN.

[HunnieBunnie614]

Great ramen! This is really helpful. (:

[powerplantop]

@HunnieBunnie614 Think you. It takes a lot of time to make but it is really good.

[ShuyuKoukin]

Thanks for the video! I was wondering if the pork broth itself have any flavor because it didn't look like you put anything in the broth other than the garlic and ginger. No seasoning?

[powerplantop]

@ShuyuKoukin The broth does develop a very nice mild flavor. It is good to add some of it to the ramen.

[TheCrasian87]

Tonkotsu ramen is not supposed to be made with pigs feet. It is made with the leg-bone. The color is because of the bone marrow inside. It is also good to thin it out with a combination of fish and chicken broth. A good topping is also soy flavored eggs and sliced black tree ear fungus. Another good idea is to add a bit of tahini while heating up an individual serving. The soy eggs can be made from the meat that is removed after cooking for 30 minutes, soysauce, green onion, and ginger.

OK, I have to ask... I'm going to guess that you were in Japan with the military. Guessing by your user name, you were in the Navy. I was also in the Navy, and I was a reactor worker on the George Washington, and a n engine room guy on the Lassen. Just wondering.

[yokohamaguy75]

@powerplantop Very cool.  I was a GSM.

[yokohamaguy75]

Been looking for a recipe like this for a long time. Did you just reheat the broth out of the fridge, or did you add some water to it? Great video, poweplantop. Thanks for posting it!

[powerplantop]

@yokohamaguy75 I just reheat it. To make it real goo add some of the broth form cooking the Nibuta pork.

[xaniiu]

@powerplantop could u use a slow cooker just to save on the gas bill for the stove?

[Pikapii2Pikachu]

I luv the way u say miso like MEEZO

[kazuma312]

20hrs damn long time cooking! great vidoe!

[drpallos]

Thank you. Once refrigerated, do you heat it as is or dilute the stock? How many bowls like you plated up do 10 pounds of pigs feet make? Finally, from the refrigerated jello state, have you cut and frozen the stock? Thank you for sharing this recipe.

[fireheadsam]

Great simple recipe thank you!

[WAIXU]

Wow! Have to applause you for the amount of work/ tme you have put to make ramen soup!

[wozler]

..and Old Mom and Pop's Place literally, Great Aged Sake, and everything for a good price. Good Orion beer, This Place you Had to Travel Way past the hills. In a cab was about nowadays around 3000yen,

[wozler]

Well Hombre, Sailor Town is still around, Karaoke is still strong and the last bar I drank at was an old bar way up in the hills..

[wozler]

At RaRa they had This Charcoaled flavored Pork and Bean Sprouts mixed w/ Tonkotsu, Very Spicy and still elegant, 900 yen a bowl, but its was worth it, it'd make you want another refill, but at the same time It'd make you're nose run turn your face red. lol

[wozler]

I'm waiting for my Pork Rib's to finish marinating and everything, Btw very good video I love It.

[wozler]

Good Job, Looks very Tasty, If you are ever in Japan, look up this Place called, "Ra-Ra-Ramen" the Tonkotsu there is very Tasty.

[powerplantop]

@wozler Will do that but it may be awhile before I get back to Japan for maore than a lay over. I had two hours in Narita about two years ago.

[wozler]

well if you ever go to Sasebo there is a little ramen shop called Ra-Ra- Ramen you can't miss it, it's under DREAMERS

[powerplantop]

@wozler Last time I was in Sasebo was 1989....Its a great place everyone is so friendly!

[wozler]

Redneck Ramen Fuck ya =D

[GPS1677]

nice vid man.  thanks

[theuglykwan]

Does the stock keep in the fridge? I could probably justify making a huge batch if it kept for several meals. Very dedicated of you. ^^

[powerplantop]

Yes it will keep for a few days in the fridge.

[tukularwanaa]

nice tryyy mate.

[holymoutain]

wow, it took so long to have this meal.

[powerplantop]

I had it in Japan a few years ago. It takes so long to cook that it is very hard to find in the US. It is worth the time that it takes and it does make a lot of stock.

[bnhek562]

Dedication, true dedication...

[powerplantop]

Thank you.

[madzanta]
