====== Ingredients ====== * * 800 ml tonkotsu broth * 300 ml sake * 300 ml mirin * 500 g smoked pork belly diced. * 20 g sugar * 40 g salt * 30 g MSG * 2 tsp white pepper (fine) * 15 cloves garlic minced * Ginger (approx half the amount garlic) minced * 1 onion halved * 6-8 shiitake mushrooms ====== Directions ====== - Put tonkotsu, sake, mirin and pork belly into a pot, simmer until the alcohol has cooked off. - Then add everything else except the white pepper and shiitake. Keep it simmering until its almost reduced by half. - Finally add the white pepper and shiitake and simmer until you are left with about 500 ml of liquid. - Take it off the heat and let the everything sit for about 30 mins. - Strain with a fine mesh sieve. I put it in a container and freeze it and take it out when needed. ====== Notes ====== * This makes me approx 15 servings. Use 30 - 35 ml per 300 ml of tonkotsu broth. * Play with the amount of tare yourself, this is my preference. ====== Source ====== https://www.moreramen.com/post/tonkotsu-tare
