Tonkotsu Soup Base Packets

Ingredients

Soup

3 packets Tonkotsu Soup Base
4 cups Water

Toppings

1 lb Thin Sliced Pork
½ Tofu
1 bag Ramen Noodles (or Udon)
¼ Nappa Cabbage (Chinese Cabbage)
4 Green Onions
1 pack Shimeji Mushrooms
1 bunch Chives
⅓ Carrot
Pickled Takana (Mustard Leaves) by preference

Instructions

Prepare the soup by mixing the soup base with water.
Cut the meats, tofu, and nappa cabbage to bite sized pieces. Cut the stem off the shimeji mushroom and loosen. Chop the pickled takana and set it aside. Slice the chives and green onions to 2-inch lengths. Thinly slice the carrots and set aside.
In a ceramic pot, add in the soup and ingredients from Step 2. Cover with lid and turn on the heat. Once the soup boils, open the lid and allow the ingredients to cook. If you prefer not to cook the ingredients altogether, you can also cook them in order (meats to vegetables). Once the ingredients are cooked, it's ready to eat! Add your choice of noodles in the end to finish!
