Ingredients

Servings:2
  • 2 portions Fresh Ramen Noodles
  • 2 kg Pork Bones (Tonkotsu base)
  • 10 cloves Garlic Cloves (for Mayu)
  • 1/2 cup Neutral Oil (Canola or Grapeseed)
  • 2 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Oil
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce (Shoyu)
  • 2 tablespoons Mirin
  • 1 piece Kombu (Dried Kelp)
  • 4 slices Chashu Pork Belly(optional)
  • 2 stalks Green Onions

Instructions

  1. 1

    Blanch the pork bones in boiling water for 10 minutes, then drain and scrub them thoroughly to remove all impurities for a clean white broth.

  2. 2

    Place cleaned bones in a pot with fresh water and kombu; simmer at a rolling boil for 12 hours, topping up water as needed, until the liquid is opaque and creamy.

  3. 3

    To make the Mayu, finely mince the garlic and heat it with neutral oil in a small pan over low heat, stirring constantly.

  4. 4

    Continue cooking the garlic until it passes the golden stage and turns completely black and fragrant, but be careful not to let it reach a bitter acrid smoke point.

  5. 5

    Blend the blackened garlic and oil with sesame oil until perfectly smooth; this is your signature black garlic oil.

  6. 6

    Prepare the tare by simmering soy sauce and mirin together, then place 2 tablespoons of this mixture into the bottom of each serving bowl.

  7. 7

    Boil the ramen noodles for exactly 90 seconds (for al dente texture), then drain and add to the bowls filled with the hot strained bone broth.

  8. 8

    Top the ramen with chashu and scallions, then artistically drizzle a tablespoon of the black garlic oil over the surface to create a marbled effect.
