This recipe recreates the flavor of the popular Sugakiya ramen from the Tokai region with a Japanese-style tonkotsu shoyu hot pot. The rich umami from ground pork, combined with milk, dashi powder, and bonito powder, creates a mellow and deeply flavorful broth. Packed with plenty of vegetables and Chinese noodles, this dish is perfect for warming up on a cold day. Once the broth is ready, you can easily make it by just adding vegetables.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Cabbage 300g (1/4 head)
  • Carrot 100g (1/2 medium)
  • Enoki Mushrooms 100g (1/2 bunch)
  • Green Onion 60g (1/2 stalk)
  • Chinese Noodles (cooked) 1 bag
  • Ground Pork 100g
  • Milk 300ml
  • Bonito Powder 1 tbsp

Seasonings

  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 2 tbsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 1 tbsp
  • [A] Chicken Bouillon Paste (Chinese Soup Base) 1.5 tsp
  • [A] Dashi Powder 1.5 tsp
  • [A] Salt approx. 1/4 tsp

Steps

  1. Cut off the core of the 300g cabbage and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Include the core, after trimming off any dirty parts, in the pot.
  2. Peel the 100g carrot and slice it into 1cm thick strips.
  3. Trim about 1cm off the base of the 100g enoki mushrooms (1/2 bunch), cut them into approximately 3 sections, and loosen the stems.
  4. Slice the 60g green onion (1/2 stalk) into thin rounds about 1mm to 3mm thick.
  5. Add 300ml water and 100g ground pork to a donabe (earthenware pot) and bring to a boil over medium-high to high heat.
  6. Once boiling and the ground pork is cooked, remove any scum that floats to the surface.
  7. Reduce heat to low and add 300ml milk.
  8. Continue by adding 2 tbsp Cooking Sake (Rice Wine), 1 tbsp Soy Sauce, 1.5 tsp Chicken Bouillon Paste (Chinese Soup Base), and 1.5 tsp Dashi Powder.
  9. Stir in 1 tbsp Bonito Powder to mix everything together. The pot broth is now complete. (Tip: Using powder gives a smoother texture, but you can substitute with one pack of dried bonito flakes (2g) if unavailable.)
  10. Add the chopped vegetables to the pot.
  11. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high to high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer. (Tip: Since milk is used, simmering just below boiling point while keeping the heat low helps prevent separation.)
  12. Simmer for about 6 minutes until the vegetables are tender, then add 1 bag of Chinese noodles. (Tip: Cooked noodles are used here, but dried instant noodles can also be used. Add water if it reduces too much.)
  13. Cook until the Chinese noodles are done.
  14. Simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes until the noodles are cooked through, then taste and adjust the saltiness as needed.
  15. Once seasoned with salt, it's ready. Garnish the center with chopped green onion.
