Hakata Ramen Delights Recipe

Hakata Ramen is known for its rich and creamy tonkotsu (pork bone broth) soup and thin, straight noodles. The soup is typically simmered for hours to extract as much flavor as possible from the pork bones, resulting in a thick and flavorful broth. Toppings often include slices of chashu (braised pork belly), green onions, pickled ginger, and often a soft-boiled egg.
