When I first moved back to Japan, I spent a few years in Sapporo, and the rich, soul-warming bowls of miso ramen helped get me through the harsh winters. Miso ramen is often built upon a tonkotsu (pork bone) broth, which normally means hours of simmering to break down the collagen into gelatin and emulsify the fat from the marrow into the soup. To speed this up, I use a mixture of grated and ground aromatics and pork to get a ton of Maillard browning before extracting the flavor into a broth. Some powdered gelatin provides collagen, and the soup gets emulsified with 3 types of miso (Hatcho, Red Miso, and Saikyo Miso) along with a pat of butter for even more richness. Using this method, you can put together a ramen-shop-level bowl in under 30 minutes (assuming you have chashu and ajitama on hand). If you wanna try it out, the [recipe is here](https://norecipes.com/miso-ramen-broth-recipe/).
