In reply to Tony. Hi Tony, Thank you for making this recipe! Love how you put that together, especially with the garden bok choy and ramen egg! I'm really happy it turned out well and that you all enjoyed it Yuto

She gave me 5 stars so I am passing them along 😉

I couldn’t read the packaging of the soy milk at the supermarket, no glasses, it has fructose so I added a little salt. The noodles and the pork belly were both from your recipes too. Some blanched bok choy (from the garden), ramen egg made in the left over pork marinade, ginger, saindoux (french for lard), green onion and ground sesame, it was a pretty nice meal which has gone onto the repeat list by request.

Hi John,

Thank you so much! Love that idea with the creamer too! Sounds like a great twist I’ll have to try sometime!

Thank you for this, Chef!
I love the soy milk hack! Along loosely similar lines, I sometimes use some plain powdered coffee creamer.

This cheat’s tonkotsu recipe is brilliant! I used your recipe and added a teaspoon of NoodleBomb ramen sauce towards the end for an extra umami punch without increasing salt. It made the broth taste rich and restaurant-quality. Loved how quick and easy this version is — will definitely make it again! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Louise,

Thank you for your question! Lard really gives that tonkotsu-like porky flavor, so that’s the ideal. But if it’s tough to get, you can try a smaller amount of unsalted butter or sesame oil instead. Just keep in mind the flavor will shift a bit! I hope this helps!

Hello! I would love to make this and was wondering if there’s a good substitute for lard?

Thank you!

This was fantastic, thank you for the recipe. My family and I lived in Kyushu so we are very familiar with authentic tonkotsu ramen. I made the recipe for a casual dinner party and everyone asked for the recipe. Will be making it over and over again.
