Tonkotsu ramen: less an essential skill and more a right-of-passage for the modern home cook. And, you know, an essential part of Japanese culture and day-to-day life. Sure, it takes two some-odd days to make, and sure, you can burn your hands on the alkaline salt, and sure, getting every element just right is a constant barrage of challenges. But with that first steamy slurp comes a superlative sense of accomplishment – not to mention, a truly delicious dinner.
NOTE: Any time I said baking powder, I meant baking soda – do not write and perform voice-over at 7AM when you are not a morning person.
