Tonkotsu (or Hakata) Ramen
One of the first bowls of ramen I ever made from (mostly) scratch. This bowl was made in January of 2025, because I was not able to go to Itto Ramen in Asheville, NC.
-12 hour Tonkotsu broth
-fresh made black garlic oil
-tare (from kombu, bonito flakes, shitake mushrooms, shoyu, and mirin)
-Homemade, 3-day Ajitama
-and homemade Chashu
To this day I have still not braved making my own noodles... they seem daunting.
I have, however, begun marinating the bamboo shoots, making more of a menma, and I have also begun adding Woodear Mushrooms as part of the toppings...
