Josh I just made this recipe and holy shit man, I was not prepared for this much broth. I literally have *five* huge containers filled with broth. I have enough broth to feed my family during the harshest winter, enough broth to feed my city. I don't have anymore room in my fridge Josh, there is only broth. I go to reach for my milk and instead I've grabbed a container of broth. I only got enough ingredients to make like four bowls of ramen Josh, this is enough tonkatsu broth for like 9 bowls. I've had to ask friends and family "hey do you want some broth?" and curse them when they say no. Why didn't you warn me Josh? I wasn't prepared man
To be fair you can do a lot with broth. Make it a base for other soups, stews, or braises, boil away most of the water and make a porky demiglas, etc etc. Plus, a lifetime supply of the most time demanding part of ramen dont sound too bad.
protip: after the blanching you can put the broth ingredients into a large slow cooker and leave it overnight (on high) and just have it boil on the stove the next day for a couple hours to emulsify

Well to try and answer your question (even if its rhetorical): In Fukuoka (home of Tonkatsu Ramen) its common to cook it for up to 48 hours. Not sure about the specifics though... Maybe they're adding additional meat and bones in between. Mabe not. Don't know. But one thing I can say with confidence is that the ones I've tried there were thick, savoury and simply breathtakingly delicious! In that sense: go for it and see where it leads to. If you're curious you could just make a bigger amount and remove some broth every hour after the 12th and compare them. In any case: Good luck! Hope you manage to get some awesome Ramen out of it!
Fairly easy to find specialty seaweed, at the supermarket or the Asian market?? I can't find normal nori, sir, I've never seen an Asian market in my life!
JUST for the sake of accuracy I wanna point out that it’s “tonkotsu”, not “tonkatsu”. Both are japanese terms for different pork-related dishes: “tonkatsu” is deep-fried pork and “tonkotsu” is the style of ramen. Great video though, looks super good :)
Half-Japanese boy here. I love Babish and Josh here but I am *so*tired* of white youtube boys declaring loud and proud "TonKAHtsu", It's "TonKOHtsu", ffs

Mr. Weissman, I made this dish today for my sister's birthday, to help celebrate and take away the feeling of isolation from this quarantine. It was SO worth it! I had made my soft jammy boiled eggs but marinated them in a soy mixture for 3 days before this. The salt between that and mixing it together with the tonkotsu broth was out of this world. Thank you for gifting us this recipe. To be honest, I decided to do this as an impulse! But after careful planning, it was completed (also irrelevant tidbit but I got up at 4:20AM to start on the process)!
If you guys wanna try this recipe and add a little more love into it, the ramen shop I used to work at used dashi instead of water to make the broth. Also add a few apples depending on pot size into it it'll be amazing! Also throw your cooked and cooled eggs into the cooled leftover chasu sauce. And let it sit a few hours to get a nice marinated egg.
@@LeftCoastDrones ...though I bet you can find at least a few specialty places where they have that on the menu, and instead of the tonkotsu ramen you wanted, you'll get a ramen with a tonkatsu plopped on top instead!
So me(14) and my brother(12) are going to make this as an appreciation meal for our parents and grandparents. We've been saving money for a few weeks and finally, we found what to make! Ill come back once we're done to let yall know how it turned out❤
I just made this last weekend and wow, it was so worth it. If you are reading this because you always wanted to make tonkotsu ramen but keep watching videos and never making it, do what I did. Just randomly buy the pork belly. Put yourself on the clock. If I hadn't done that, I would have kept saying I was "too tired" to do it.
One of my top three channels on TH-cam hands down and progressively working its way up the ladder I love to cook and I love his passion we need to promote this guy
I just discovered your site and am now addicted. This is now my son's favourite dish and I'm making my own kombucha, bread and pickles. Thank you for your awesome videos ...oh, and recipes. Huge fan!
Thanks for the great video! The ramen is very tasty. As a reference, Enoki mushrooms must be heated and eaten. It should be cooked at least 70 degrees Celsius, which takes about 3 to 10 minutes. This is to prevent food poisoning caused by 'Listeria'.
Joshua idk of you will see this but my boyfriend and I actually did make this today and it was so good I think it saved our souls and permanently cured all our illnesses. 10/10 my dude!!!
I'd REALLY recomend to make your own Noodles , the difference is literally Day and Night and if you're gonna spend so much time on this you can also walk the last extra mile I recommend "The Way of Ramen" if you wanna have a recipe (and also if you're just a Ramen nerd)
Pro tip if you screw up the ramen broth and the fat separates, bring back to rolling boil while blending with an immersion blender. Keep blending till you see it become creamy and there are no puddles of oil on the surface. Of course do this after you have STRAINED THE BROTH.
@@ladydarkb5656 And I just discovered something else; after you're done cooking the chashu, take the braising liquid, blend it until it's smooth and then pour it into mashed potatoes. They taste great!
@@BigBrother169 look I'm japanese descendant and if I was a tradicional person I would be sending you to the fire But I'm not and now I'm hungry This is a good idea although
Made this the other day and I'm doing it again right now. I added too much water last time but it gelled in the fridge overnight and was pretty good. I won't add so much tonight and hopefully it'll have more flavor! Great recipe dude!
i made this yesterday, and it came out amazing!! i accidentally kept adding water every hour while i stirred the pot, instead of when it reduces halfway 🤦♂️ however, i just ended up reducing the broth a bit longer after straining and i saved it 😎 definitely a 10/10 recipe, and i’ll try it again (properly next time!)
Learned from a Japanese ramen-dedicated channel, instead of boiling for 12 hours, just pressure cook for 1hr-1.5hr then open it up, rapid boil it for 1 hour. You will have the same emulsification result while preserving all the flavor units.
I made this last year and am doing it again for my husband who is getting his THIRD dose in a couple of days.. Gotta build that immunity! Love this recipe!!!
Imagine doing all of this work, finally finishing, getting super excited to eat, sitting down with your bowl of time consuming homemade ramen... Then you dig in and you’re like “Yeah I’ve had better”
BRO THAT WAS FUCKING ME!!!!!! I’ve been cooking for 10 years of my life at 26. And I followed the recipe to “A-T” and it was NOT like what I get at my small mom and pop shop ramen joint. It was honestly pretty fucking shitty... the only good thing was the chashu. The broth was very bland. Some how..
Cooking shows: you can find this at your local Asian market! Me, in the middle of bumblef$@k east Tennessee: yeah...Asian market I'm still going to try this though
Lol I live in Knoxville and I crave good ramen. I had amazing spicy oxtail broth ramen in new york. The southwestern and northeastern states are way ahead of us in restaurant quality. At least we have quality people though!
I made this for the second time today and again it was the most satisfying, comforting soup of any kind I've ever made, thank you, from my stomach's soul, thank you.
i did 4 eggs in an InstantPot. 2 minutes on high pressure. cooled quickly after removing from the InstantPot, the eggs are perfect. firm whites and custard yolks. my wife hates the eggs marinated with Tare. so... i don't do it :) She loves my Ramen!
As a chef with long hair, love how you show how you properly keep yourself during cooking, but vibe out w your hair when in your other bits of video. Class.
I made this for a dinner party and got lots of praise. I really recommend his suggestion of crisping the outside of the chashu-- adds a much needed crispiness to the outside
Joshua, you really did your research, this is the REAL DEAL,. Amazing recipe and you took all the mystery and difficulty out of it!, Japanese food is simple & Beautiful, NOT TECHNICAL, Thank you for all of your hard work. Amazingly delicious.
Made this with the first three hours done in a pressure cooker. Then transferred to a pot on the stove. Cuts a few hours off that 12 hour boil. Rock solid recipe.
@@InfluMySoul around 4 and a half! We always have some leftovers of broth and noodles for the next day (but we love the meat so much we don't leave any piece lol)
@@MRC4pooper yep, it smells a lot during the first boil (when the foam comes up and you have to remove it and change water for the second boil). During the second boil it doesn't smell as much and when I'm boiling the veggies it's ok
Cooking with Joshua's recipes is like growing your own produce. There are easier options, but if you put in the extra love, you'll surely be left with a superior product.
The thin wheat noodles in a rich tonkatsu broth... The pulpy soft-boiled egg which melts in your mouth, the roast pork... They all create a perfect harmony. It's the soul food of Japan beloved by everyone in the country!
As with all meals, there’s only so many proteins, so many vegetables you can find and eat, but it’s the sauce, the broth, the liquid, the subtle umami that runs through a meal that makes it a unique mouth feel for that meal. It’s the sauce that makes a sensation.
Made this a few days ago and EVERYONE loved it! I just needed to make the tare a little more salty, and the chashu didn't look at all like the one in the video but it was still pretty bomb! Does anyone have tips for making good chashu, I followed what he recommended.
I'm so late lol but I sear my chashu on all sides before I put it in the oven with the braising liquid. I've also done a few experiments with the liquid itself and for my personal taste, adding some green apple along with the garlic and ginger too it to another level 😄
This is true. This is really the authentic and traditional way of making tonkotsu broth. I used to work in a Japanese restaurant before. We start cooking the broth from 5 am till 5pm. But we use pork bones (leg part) and chicken feet (it makes the broth more thicker and creates a wonderful blend of umami), then we add cabbage, white onion, ginger, carrots and Spring onion.
I made this last night. It was perfect. I was in the entire day because I had to catch up on cleaning, etc. If you are home right now, this is not that difficult of a recipe to make- if you have access to the ingredients and some large pots. It was much better than the restaurant ramen, sodium is much lower. My kids LOVED it, and we have leftovers today. Next up, some nice Pho. Enjoy! Try it, it's worth it! Oh, and that chashu... WOW!!!!!!!
Josh I just made this recipe and holy shit man, I was not prepared for this much broth. I literally have *five* huge containers filled with broth.

@@LeftCoastDrones ...though I bet you can find at least a few specialty places where they have that on the menu, and instead of the tonkotsu ramen you wanted, you'll get a ramen with a tonkatsu plopped on top instead!
So me(14) and my brother(12) are going to make this as an appreciation meal for our parents and grandparents. We've been saving money for a few weeks and finally, we found what to make! Ill come back once we're done to let yall know how it turned out❤

My son (15) just made this yesterday and it was unbelievable! Thank you Joshua for being an inspiration to my young chef.
I just made this last weekend and wow, it was so worth it. If you are reading this because you always wanted to make tonkotsu ramen but keep watching videos and never making it, do what I did. Just randomly buy the pork belly. Put yourself on the clock. If I hadn't done that, I would have kept saying I was "too tired" to do it.
One of my top three channels on TH-cam hands down and progressively working its way up the ladder I love to cook and I love his passion we need to promote this guy
As a Japanese, I have to say it’s “Tonkotsu” and not “Tonkatsu”. Tonkatsu is actually pork cutlet.
AS A JAPANESE

Yeah but at 0:46 he wrote "tonkatsu" sooooooooo.... I guess he is just confused.

I just discovered your site and am now addicted. This is now my son's favourite dish and I'm making my own kombucha, bread and pickles. Thank you for your awesome videos ...oh, and recipes. Huge fan!

Thanks for the great video! The ramen is very tasty.
As a reference, Enoki mushrooms must be heated and eaten. It should be cooked at least 70 degrees Celsius, which takes about 3 to 10 minutes. This is to prevent food poisoning caused by 'Listeria'.

Joshua idk of you will see this but my boyfriend and I actually did make this today and it was so good I think it saved our souls and permanently cured all our illnesses. 10/10 my dude!!!
I'd REALLY recomend to make your own Noodles , the difference is literally Day and Night and if you're gonna spend so much time on this you can also walk the last extra mile
I recommend "The Way of Ramen" if you wanna have a recipe (and also if you're just a Ramen nerd)
Yes yes I agree!
Pro tip if you screw up the ramen broth and the fat separates, bring back to rolling boil while blending with an immersion blender. Keep blending till you see it become creamy and there are no puddles of oil on the surface. Of course do this after you have STRAINED THE BROTH.
I just made this for my family and you were not joking about the chashu being so good you nearly pass out! Everyone loved it
Chashu is the perfect definition of: this took a century to cook but worth it
@@ladydarkb5656 And I just discovered something else; after you're done cooking the chashu, take the braising liquid, blend it until it's smooth and then pour it into mashed potatoes. They taste great!
@@BigBrother169 look I'm japanese descendant and if I was a tradicional person I would be sending you to the fire
But I'm not and now I'm hungry
This is a good idea although

Super close! You’re just missing the 香味油 (aroma oil )component. It’s essential for all bowls of ramen.
What kind of aroma?
Chicken oil!
Khanitthanan Kaiser chicken oil or mayu (black garlic oil)
@@mewpeach9 Thank you :)
@@roadtrip5643 Thank you!
Made this the other day and I'm doing it again right now. I added too much water last time but it gelled in the fridge overnight and was pretty good. I won't add so much tonight and hopefully it'll have more flavor! Great recipe dude!
i made this yesterday, and it came out amazing!! i accidentally kept adding water every hour while i stirred the pot, instead of when it reduces halfway 🤦♂️
however, i just ended up reducing the broth a bit longer after straining and i saved it 😎
definitely a 10/10 recipe, and i’ll try it again (properly next time!)
Lmao I forgot to reduce at the end and it tastes fine just wished I reduced it more instead of adding water every time I stirred
Most people in the comments: *takes too long
Also most people in the comments: *stares at screens for over 40 hours a week
40 hours? You gotta pump those numbers up!! Those are rookie numbers!
This hurt
Because that's easier
This one right here!
True
Learned from a Japanese ramen-dedicated channel, instead of boiling for 12 hours, just pressure cook for 1hr-1.5hr then open it up, rapid boil it for 1 hour. You will have the same emulsification result while preserving all the flavor units.
Is there a video showing this method?
What channel is this.....?

Guess who's gonna get scurvy.
Just made this and I have to say... this is absolutely incredible. I wish I had the drive to make this everyday.
I made this for a dinner party and got lots of praise. I really recommend his suggestion of crisping the outside of the chashu-- adds a much needed crispiness to the outside

Tonkatsu specifically refers to a pork cutlet. "Katsu" alone could be any type of cutlet.

Who are you talking about? Because last name doesn't necessarily correlate to knowing the language
Made this with the first three hours done in a pressure cooker. Then transferred to a pot on the stove. Cuts a few hours off that 12 hour boil.

How much broth did you have left? Thinking about doing it in an instant pot as well but want to make sure the end result is the same

@@MRC4pooper yep, it smells a lot during the first boil (when the foam comes up and you have to remove it and change water for the second boil). During the second boil it doesn't smell as much and when I'm boiling the veggies it's ok
I’ve only watch 3 videos and dude your freaking amazing, I love your cinematography and style!
Cooking with Joshua's recipes is like growing your own produce. There are easier options, but if you put in the extra love, you'll surely be left with a superior product.
The thin wheat noodles in a rich tonkatsu broth... The pulpy soft-boiled egg which melts in your mouth, the roast pork... They all create a perfect harmony. It's the soul food of Japan beloved by everyone in the country!
Ooooo since we're doing Asian cuisine, please make soup dumplings next time!

As with all meals, there’s only so many proteins, so many vegetables you can find and eat, but it’s the sauce, the broth, the liquid, the subtle umami that runs through a meal that makes it a unique mouth feel for that meal. It’s the sauce that makes a sensation.
"[enoki mushrooms] are just an Asian ingredient that put there to make something look Asian."
You watched that video too,from Way of Ramen? Lol
I was thinking the same haha
Hahaha
Made this a few days ago and EVERYONE loved it! I just needed to make the tare a little more salty, and the chashu didn't look at all like the one in the video but it was still pretty bomb! Does anyone have tips for making good chashu, I followed what he recommended.
I'm so late lol but I sear my chashu on all sides before I put it in the oven with the braising liquid. I've also done a few experiments with the liquid itself and for my personal taste, adding some green apple along with the garlic and ginger too it to another level 😄
I've never seen him without a beard this is extremely interesting
This is true. This is really the authentic and traditional way of making tonkotsu broth. I used to work in a Japanese restaurant before. We start cooking the broth from 5 am till 5pm. But we use pork bones (leg part) and chicken feet (it makes the broth more thicker and creates a wonderful blend of umami), then we add cabbage, white onion, ginger, carrots and Spring onion.
I gave this recipe a shot and the tare was most definitely the kicker. Great informational video to introduce a first timer like me to this dish!
Scoobert Doobert fantastic! Happy you enjoyed it!

I made this last night. It was perfect. I was in the entire day because I had to catch up on cleaning, etc. If you are home right now, this is not that difficult of a recipe to make- if you have access to the ingredients and some large pots. It was much better than the restaurant ramen, sodium is much lower. My kids LOVED it, and we have leftovers today. Next up, some nice Pho. Enjoy! Try it, it's worth it! Oh, and that chashu... WOW!!!!!!!
