My version of Ramen Broth is made from a combination of pork bones and chicken frames as simple as that! It takes a few hours to make but it is not very difficult. Try it yourself!
| 1. | Place pork and chicken bones in a large stockpot and cover with cold water. Place on a burner over high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat as soon as boil is reached. |
| 2. | While pot is heating, heat vegetable oil in a medium cast iron or non-stick skillet over high heat until lightly smoking. Add onions, garlic, and ginger. Cook, tossing occasionally until deeply charred on most sides, about 15 minutes total. Set aside. |
| 3. | Once pot has come to a boil, dump water down the drain. Carefully wash all bones under cold running water, removing any bits of dark marrow or coagulated blood. Bones should be uniform grey/white after you've scrubbed them. Use a chopstick to help remove small bits of dark marrow from inside the trotters or near the chicken's spines. |
| 4. | Return bones to pot along with charred onions, garlic and ginger. Top up with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, skimming off any scum that appears. |
| 5. | Once the lid is on, check the pot after 15 minutes. It should be at a slow rolling boil. If not, increase or decrease heat slightly to adjust boiling speed. |
| 6. | Add mirin (optional) and soy sauce. Boil broth until meat on the bones is completely tender, about 4 hours or 1 hour if you are using pressure cooker. |
| 7. | Once broth is ready, cook over high heat until reduced to around 3 quarts. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean pot. Discard solids. |
| 8. | To serve, season broth with condiments of your choice (salt, soy sauce, miso, sesame paste, grated fresh garlic, chili oil or a mixture of all, for instance) and serve with cooked ramen noodles and toppings as desired. |
