Tonkotsu ramen
Tonkotsu ramen is a popular Japanese noodle soup known for its rich and creamy broth. The broth is made by simmering pork bones for several hours, which releases collagen and fat, giving it a distinctive milky appearance. This hearty soup is typically served with thin, straight noodles, which complement the thick broth.
Common toppings for tonkotsu ramen include sliced pork belly, green onions, and soft-boiled eggs. The dish often features a drizzle of chashu sauce and may be garnished with nori (seaweed) or menma (bamboo shoots). Tonkotsu ramen is a favorite among ramen enthusiasts for its deep flavor and satisfying texture.
