Quick and tasty tonkotsu ramen broth made effortlessly in an Instant Pot.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound pork bones, with meat
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 small leeks, chopped
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 cups water, divided
  • 1 teaspoon dashi granules
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon shiro miso (white fermented soybean paste)
  • 0.25 cup fresh spinach
  • 2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a large pot, submerge the pork bones in water and bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 5 minutes. Drain the bones in a colander, rinsing thoroughly until the water runs clear as this step is crucial.
  • Preheat a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) using the Saute function. Heat olive oil in the pot, then saute leeks, onion, and garlic until onion is clear and slightly browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Turn off the Saute mode.
  • Place the washed pork bones onto the onion mixture in the inner pot. Pour in 4 cups of water, cover the Instant Pot with the lid, setting the vent to Sealing. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to select high pressure and set the timer to 45 minutes. Let the pressure build for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions for natural pressure release for 10 to 40 minutes or switch the vent to Venting.
  • Carefully remove the inner pot without the lid. Strain the stock through a cheesecloth-lined colander over a large saucepan. Set aside the strained stock and any remaining meat from bones.
  • Season the strained broth with salt and pepper, then mix in dashi and the remaining cup of water. Stir in soy sauce. Slowly bring the broth to a gentle boil over medium-low heat and reduce to a simmer. Take out 1/3 cup of the broth and mix it with miso in a bowl until it softens and dissolves. Return the miso paste to the saucepan and blend it in well. Add spinach to the broth and simmer for 10 minutes without boiling.
  • While waiting, boil water in a pot. Cook ramen noodles until tender, around 2 minutes. Drain, rinse, and place a generous amount in a serving bowl. Pour tonkotsu broth over the noodles using a ladle. Top with pulled meat and spinach.
