Tonkotsu Ramen

I guess a better name would be Tonkotsu somen noodels since I could not get the right ones. But the broth is awsome.

I did not show it but adding some of the Nibuta broth is a very good idea.

I took ten pounds of pigs feet that had already been split put them in a big pot of water. Soaked them for two hours changed the water. Put them on a burner when they started to boil boiled them for 30 minutes. Dumped the water washed the pot and the bones. Put them back in the pot with 1 one inch piece of ginger and five cloves of garlic. Brought them to a slow boil for twenty hours. About every hour I would skim off any foam and fat. After the time had ended I removed the bones and strained liquid. It is now ready to use.

I had to put the Nibuta pork in another vid due to time limit.

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.

@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

@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.

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

[ZZaiBoT2011]

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

[ZZaiBoT2011]

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