Japanese Tonkotsu Miso Ramen
When you are in Japan, you will quickly learn that there are 3 basic ramen flavors: Shio (salt), Shoyu (soy sauce), and Miso (fermented soybean paste).
Tonkotsu is a unique version of ramen because it is technically not a flavor but a type of broth. The word tonkotsu means "pork bone" and it points to the broth that is made by boiling pork bones along with some herbs for a long time to get a creamy, milky white soup. This makes for a super filling meal that is also super healthy and great for when you are craving a heavier meal. If you are choosing to make it from scratch, Tonkotsu ramen has the longest prep time among the ramen varieties.
This version of ramen comes from the city of Kurume, in the Fukuoka prefecture of Japan. Kurume Tonkotsu ramen is the original version and although other regions have slowly picked up the technique, the Kurume pork bone broth remains a global favorite.
