A surprising recipe that recreates the kind of tonkotsu broth restaurants simmer for hours — at home in just 20 minutes using a hand blender. Combined with Marutai noodles and a special red sauce, the result is shockingly close to Ichiran.

- Pour 300ml water into a small pot. Cut the pork belly into small pieces with scissors directly into the pot.
- Add 1 tbsp lard, the Chinese-style bouillon, sake, garlic powder, ground pepper, and powdered gelatin. Stir.
- Once the broth boils, cover and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes until the pork is tender.
- While simmering, make the secret red sauce: combine gochujang, chili powder, MSG, pepper, sesame oil, and water in a container and mix well.
- After 10 minutes, turn off the heat. Use a hand blender to puree the broth and pork together until emulsified and milky.
- Add soy sauce, sugar, salt, Hi-Me, and soy milk to the broth. Blend again to combine and adjust to taste. Keep warm.
- In a separate pot, bring plenty of water to a boil and cook the Marutai noodles. About 3 minutes (firm) is recommended for an Ichiran-like texture.
- Drain the noodles thoroughly and transfer to a pre-warmed bowl.
- Pour the warm broth over the noodles through a fine strainer.
- Finish with 3cm of lard, a dollop of red sauce in the center, and chopped scallions.
