Tonkotsu broth

Trying to make my favorite ramen at home. I use a 20 quart stock pot.

Ingredients

  1. 3 lbs Pork bones (femur or neck)
  2. 2 lbs Pork feet
  3. 4 Whole Carrots
  4. 2 Whole yellow onions
  5. 1 bunch Green onions
  6. 1 head Garlic
  7. 3 inch knob of ginger peeled 2 pieces

  6. Place the lid on and bring it to a rolling boil for 12 hours. Stir occasionally and add water if needed. It is very important to maintain a rolling boil to obtain the desired white and creamy broth. I use the large coil on setting between 3-4 on my old GE electric stove.

  7. Strain all contents from the stock pot. You can put them in small bags and either refrigerate (good for 2-3 days) or freeze(good for a few months).
