A rich, fatty tonkotsu ramen is something special. It's not like anything else in this world. And in my humble opinion, the broth is the true star. The reality is that, assuming you have the proper components, the true main ingredient in a rich and creamy tonkotsu broth is time. Consisting of an umami rich broth, boosted by a dashi-based tare, chashu pork belly, soft boiled eggs, hand-made ramen noodles (be careful not to burn your hands), and any toppings you'd like, ramen is truly one of the most delicious things on earth. This ingredient list may scare you, but at the very least, if you make anything at all here, make the broth, dashi, and tare. It will blow your mind. I promise.
