What Kind of Pork for Ramen
No matter which cut you choose, pat it dry before searing—it helps build that golden crust. Braise it in a mix of soy sauce, sake, sugar, and garlic, and let it cool in the liquid overnight for maximum flavor.
If you’re short on time, a pressure cooker (like an Instant Pot) can turn pork shoulder into tender shreds in under an hour. Game changer, right? Also, always slice your belly against the grain for that perfect bite.
So, what kind of pork for ramen? The real answer is: the one that makes you excited to eat. Whether it’s belly, shoulder, or a cheeky jowl, just grab a cut with some fat, cook it with love, and slurp away. You’ve got this—now go make some magic in that bowl!
