Critical Success Points

  • • Do not boil kombu for dashi; it will become bitter.
  • • Whisk miso into spicy miso broth off heat to avoid bitterness.
  • • Blending pork fat with broth is essential for creamy tonkotsu texture.
  • • Do not season tonkotsu broth until tare is added; taste and adjust.
  • • Ensure chicken is cooked through for shoyu ramen topping.

Safety Warnings

  • • Use caution when releasing pressure from pressure cooker; follow manufacturer instructions.
  • • Hot oil and boiling liquids can cause burns—use tongs and oven mitts as needed.
  • • Ensure all meats are cooked to safe internal temperatures (chicken: 165°F/74°C, pork: 145°F/63°C).
