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

Directions

Step 1

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

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

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

Step 4: After 8 hours, strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a clean pot. Discard the solids.

Step 5

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

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

Step 7: Cook the gluten-free ramen noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 8

Step 8: To assemble, evenly divide the ramen noodles into four bowls. Ladle the hot pork broth over the noodles.

Step 9

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

Step 10: Serve hot and enjoy your rich, comforting Gluten-Free Tonkotsu Ramen!
