Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Pork bones (neck, back, or trotters)
- 1 lb Boneless pork belly
- 6 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1 large White onion
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tbsp Mirin
- 4 servings Gluten-free ramen noodles
- 4 pieces Soft-boiled eggs
- 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 sheets Nori sheets
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1 tbsp Optional: chili oil for serving
- 10 cups Water
- 1 tsp Salt to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Thoroughly rinse the pork bones under cold water to remove any impurities. Boil a large pot of water, add the bones, and blanch them for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse the bones to ensure a clean broth.
Step 2: In a large stockpot, add the cleaned pork bones, garlic cloves (peeled and smashed), ginger (sliced), and white onion (cut into quarters). Cover with 10 cups of water.
Step 3: Bring the pot to a boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Partially cover with a lid and cook for 8 hours, occasionally skimming any foam or fat from the surface to keep the broth clear.
Step 4: After 8 hours, strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pot. Discard the solids.
Step 5: While the broth is cooking, prepare the pork belly. Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Rub the pork belly with 1 tablespoon of gluten-free soy sauce or tamari, 1 tablespoon of mirin, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6: Wrap the pork belly tightly in aluminum foil and roast for 2 hours until tender. Once cooled, slice the pork belly into thin pieces.
Step 7: Cook the gluten-free ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 8: To assemble, evenly divide the ramen noodles into four bowls. Ladle the hot pork broth over the noodles.
Step 9: Add toppings: sliced pork belly, soft-boiled eggs (halved), green onions, a sheet of nori (cut into strips), and a drizzle of sesame oil. Add chili oil if desired.
Step 10: Serve hot and enjoy your rich, comforting Gluten-Free Tonkotsu Ramen!
