Pork Ramen Broth

Real ramen—not the 20 packs for $1 stuff we lived off of in college—is a culinary treat. It’s also one of those meals that takes time to do right. We’re talking hours, even days for some recipes. So it makes sense most of us have never enjoyed real ramen at home (or even at all).

Enter this ramen pork broth. Unlike the thin, salty broth we “enjoyed” when we were young, this pork shank-based broth is velvety smooth with a porky, savory flavor with undertones of roasted veggies. It’s so rich you may choose to thin it out with a bit of water.

To make a bowl of ramen, heat the broth and add your noodles. Then dress it up to your heart's content with proteins or veggies. Start with just a few additions (carrots or sprouts are always good) and add on from there.
