Kara Miso Tonkotsu Ramen

Kara Miso ( Spicy Miso ) Tonkotsu Ramen

Yamagata prefecture is one of Japan’s least famous prefectures when it comes to ramen—save for this one style. Tonkotsu ramen is served with a flavorful mix of miso and spices. Karamiso is a spicy miso condiment used to liven up many Japanese dishes. Be sure to serve extra on the side, and warn people to be careful. Many bowls of karamiso ramen have been ruined by overdoing the spice mixture.

Instructions

TO MAKE THE KARAMISO

  • Combine all the karamiso ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir-fry over high heat until the mixture is almost dry. Stir constantly so it does not burn.
  • Store the karamiso in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

TO MAKE THE RAMEN

  • With all your ingredients ready to go, bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Heat your ramen bowls by filling them halfway with hot water. The bowls don’t need to be scalding, but they should be hot to the touch. Dump out the hot water and dry the bowls with some paper towels or a clean towel.
  • Put the tare, soup, and ¾ cup of the karamiso in a medium saucepan. Mix and bring to a simmer over low heat.
  • Cook the noodles in the large pot of boiling water. Ramen that has been cut to a standard thickness (about 1 mm) will cook in 1 to 2 minutes.
  • About 30 seconds before the noodles are finished cooking, ladle the soup into the ramen bowls.
  • Drain the noodles, taking care to shake off as much excess water as you can. Carefully place some noodles in each bowl of soup, keeping them tidy.
  • Place 1 or 2 slices of chashu and a sprinkle of negi neatly on the ramen. Serve immediately, with extra karamiso on the side.
