hello welcome to Mrs. Lin's Kitchen
today I'm going to show you how
to make the Japanese tonkotsu broth
tonkotsu means the pork bone so it
literally translated into Japanese pork bone broth
this broth is often used
in making of the Japanese ramen
so let me show you how to make it today
here is the ingredients overview
for this recipe
pigs feet or pork bone can be used
you can also use both of them too
start by prepping the vegetables
needed for this broth
cut the green onions into pieces
slice the ginger
while leaving the skin on
and crush 2 cloves of garlic
next
prepare a pot of boiling water
and place in the pork bone and feet
allow it to boil for about 20 to 30 minutes
doing this first
will help clean the bones
for the broth
as it will surface scum
which you can skim off
once the time has passed
carefully bring the pot over to the sink
and rinse under cold water
make sure to wash off
all the scums from the pork bones
once the bones are cleaned
prepare a pot of ten cups of water
and place the bones in
you can then also
place in the green onions
ginger and garlic
allow it to simmer on low heat
for six to twelve hours
if the water level looks low for your broth
feel free to add more water
for your soup stock
once 6 to 12 hours passed
your broth is done
so here is the tonkotsu broth
I'm showing you here
is the simplest way of
making tonkotsu broth
and you can also
add more flavor by adding chicken bones
dry fish
or kombu
but wait until about 10 minutes
prior to the finishing of this broth
before you add the kombu and dry fish
so another thing you will
notice with the broth
is that cloudiness
or milkiness of the broth
if you don't want your broth
to be so cloudy and so milky looking
then make sure you put the
broth on very low heat
and keep an eye on this broth
to make sure that it's not
bubbling so much
if you like the broth the cloudiness
and the milkiness of this broth
then a little bit bubble is okay
it will actually make it cloudy
so this is the beginning of
making the tonkotsu ramen
in my next videos
I'll show you how to make
the chashu Japanese ramen
making the tonkotsu broth
is a time-consuming process
normally it takes about 6 to
12 hours to make this broth
so you can do it on the weekends
or on your day off
or you have a slow cooker
it will definitely do the job for you
