Thanks for your kind words, so here it is my process of making Tonkontsu Miso Ramen. As a little bit of background info- Tonkotsu ramen is a thick pork based soup thats popular in the southern region of Japan known as Kuushu prefecture. The broth is much heavier and richer than the other popular styles of ramen. To me there is no greater soul food than hot delicious broth that's been made from scratch and takes hours to boil. This is just made from the stuff I saved in the freezer(bones from last week's pernil, seafood shells), onion, garlic, dried shiitake mushrooms, seaweed, and ginger.
Boiled for 2 hours, I used a chopstick to scoop out all the marrow from the bones and tossed all the shells and bones after.
After that I add miso paste, soy sauce, white pepper till I like the flavor
Once the broth is done it's ladled into liter size tupperware to be used for however long it would last. A typical pot would yield 6 to 7 containers of soup, each container holds enough broth for 2 servings. This is one version of a finished product, depending on what vegetables, pickles or meat I have it will always be different. In this one I added sliced pork belly, scallions,pickled bamboo shoots and a sheet of seaweed
Here you go another low cost, nutritious meal that will taste as fine as any meal you can pay for. The cost of the broth was minimal, almost all the ingredients were recycled. The cost of a bag of fresh ramen is $4 for 8 servings, anything else you garnish with is at your discretion.
It was tough as hell not having work and not being able to take my girls to restaurants. I knew every week's sale circular by memory and circulate between the 4 supermarkets by me. These were my efforts in being a house dad and I cherish all these memories. I'm happy to say I've been working solid for a few months but I go back to these dishes always because they keep me humble and they are my soul food.
