Tonkotsu Ramen - Behind the Scenes
My first ramen was surprisingly, in new york when I was in high school. I went out on a date with a boy who took me to momofuku noodle bar in Lower East side.
As a high school student, I didn’t get many chances to get “wine-and-dined” and this was an eye-opening moment for me. To see all these young new yorkers, drinking their korean pear slushies, slurping down noodles, scarfing down pork-belly baos, and sharing a platter of bossam (very odd menu combo), I was stunned. It felt cool to be in the scene, and I remember waitresses with sleeve tattoos and cool names squeezing through the crowded noodle bar.
I don’t even think I ordered tonkotsu, but it was my first non-instant noodle experience and I loved it. I’ve made ramen before, but this was my first time really making everything from scratch.
Not going to lie, ramen is.. arduous. This ramen cost me 1 week of trial and error + a forever porky lingering smell in my apartment. But is it worth it?
Yes.
What surprised me the most was the noodles. I’m actually not a big fan of fresh pasta- I find that most people overcook to a mushy-blobby gunk and I like my pasta al dente. However, these? I honestly thought they were going to be gimmicky. But no. They were, chewy, springy, and the perfect consistency to slurp. I, like most people, got intimidated by the “baking baking soda” part. But once you get over that hump, you’ll be rewarded with beautiful fresh ramen noodles to use.
I think the broth and cha-shu doesn’t even need an explanation. Hint? Heavenlyl. I ended up stewing the broth for 14 hours, plus an additional 8 hour rest in the fridge. When I took it out, it was literally pork jello- a sign that all the gelatin, collagen, fat, and marrow have successfully emulsified into the broth.
Making ramen from scratch was a humbling experience. As I put a week’s worth of effort into one bowl, I understood why it’s such a beloved dish everywhere. For avid ramen lovers, this is a great weekend quest. So many nuances, techniques, planning, all concentrated in one bowl. Recipe will be up tomorrow on my instagram @doobydobap

My dad is a Japanese chef and has been in the business of many different kinds of Japanese cuisine but the one sector he has always stayed away from was ramen because he knows how damn hard it is. So props for you to taking all this time to get it right 👏🏻

that is true....ramen is one of the most labor intensive dishes to create in japanese cuisine. That's why I have great respect to chefs/cooks who specializes in this type of dishes. They always put their heart and soul whenever they cook and you can feel the warmth just by taking a sip of the broth.😊❤🍜

There is a reason why Japanese are not known for their Ramen

It is not that hard, it is just that people are meticulous and are very picky. They will judge you for literally almost every thing.

It’s not that hard to make as long as you have everything ready and make no shortcuts.

True this. If you F up one step, the whole dish is ruined.
The key of making white soup from bone is: 1. Break into small pieces and soak in cold water for half an hour at least. 2. Place in pot while the water is still cold. 3. Cook till boil and don’t keep any liquid from the initial boil. And rinse with hot water! 3. Turn up the fire to max at the second run and boil for 15 mins. 4.turn the fire back down to small heat and slow cook for a couple hours.
I LOVE how you’re very precise and factual, breaking things down and showing us where things went wrong. You’re amazing!!
The effort you put into making the perfect bowl of ramen is 💯❤️ love that you also explain what could've gone wrong with the broth the first time! Very educational yet so relaxing to watch this video! ☺️ thank you for this!!
your production is extraordinary literally can’t go wrong with any video, they’re all very entertaining
Leaps and bounds above a lot of cooks I see on social media. I love that you’re perfecting your craft so patiently.
I love how informative and relaxing your videos are! 🥰
The dedication is unreal, it's definitely hard work to make this from scratch but you made it easy to follow :) Love from Toronto!
This vid is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Love the detail talks followed by fun cooking interludes !
I just wanna say thank you for doing the cha-shu justice by torching it. So many times I've tried out a new ramen spot, with everything being pretty good EXCEPT for the fact that you could tell they prepped their cha-shu the night before, and then just sliced it and threw it on top when the bowl was ready, leaving it cold and a little tough. I definitely empathize how hectic running a ramen restaurant could be, but this one little final step with the cha-shu could make or break customer retention.
Can you write an entire recipe how step by step on this recipe this looks amazing

This looks incredible. Btw i love roasted onions in my Tonkotsu Ramen, if you havent already you should give it a try ( instead of the green onions ). It fits so well with the Tonkotsu brath and imho really elevates the whole dish to the next level!

Pretty cool

You have no idea what pork bones boiling for hours smell like then. Not really that pleasant at all. Then imagine if the apartment has poor ventilation. 😂
beautiful, but if you were looking for that bone white rich tonkotsu style it's quite tough to get it done right with home sized equipment. It works out better with nice big industrial-sized soup pots. Also, the sheer amount of bone marrow that goes into each portion, if not the Hakata style traditional tonkotsu gets their white-rich-creaminess from pork heads, which have loads of brain content that actually leads to their secret recipe.
I love her personality for real 😂
This looks so delicious! Also wondering what the song was at the beginning? The Tokyo drift remix?!
