FIRST,
We carefully coat the succulent pork in seasoned flour
Then dip it into the egg wash, allowing it to soak up the richness, before finally rolling it in panko breadcrumbs. As we lower the breaded pork into the hot and clear oil, a satisfying sizzle fills the air, and the golden crust begins to take shape. The aroma of frying tonkatsu dances through the kitchen, promising a delightful crunch.
MEANWHILE.
we turn our attention to the broth
We bring our rich tonkotsu ramen broth to a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to mingle and deepen. As the broth awakens, we add the perfectly cooked noodles, letting them soak in the savory goodness. Tender slices of chashu pork, which we caramelize with a torch, infusing them with a tantalizing, smoky flavor that wafts through the air, wrapping everything in warmth and anticipation. The final touch? A perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg, which adds a creamy richness and contrast to the dish.
Ding!
The food is ready, a masterpiece crafted with care and passion
Just as everything comes together, the kitchen fills with anticipation as we plate the ramen, adorned with luscious toppings.
