Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen Recipe (博多ラーメンの作り方) – RAMEN KAONASHI

FAQ

For those of you who are not familiar with tonkotsu (meaning “pork bones”) or Hakata-ramen, it is a hot noodle soup dish with creamy, white and rich broth (there are variations to the level of richness) that is cooked from pork backbones, head, and certain other ingredients.
Hakata Ramen is a type of ramen that originated in the Hakata disctrict of Fukuoka, and is part of the Tonkotsu type of ramen noodles. With a rich porky taste combined with thin noodles, this style of ramen is incredibly filling and almost criminally delicious.
Hakata ramen is usually only flavored with soy sauce, salt, or miso, but just a little bit because the tonkotsu broth is meant to be the star of the show. The dish itself is often topped with sliced chashu/char siu barbecued pork and chopped green onions.
Hakata ramen is famous for having very thin noodles in comparison to Kansai and Kanto, which can be ordered in three different textures: hard (kata), normal (futsu), or soft (yawaraka). Because the noodles are so thin, it is customary to add small batches of noodles to the bowl as they soften quickly in the hot broth.
Sat on a plate, this is a harmless looking circle of brilliant green, but as the name implies it is an intense explosion of spice. Its punchy heat comes from Thai green chili, countered by butter which brings a mellow finish.
