To cook ‘Nibuta’ Boiled Pork, you boil the Pork Block in water with Ginger, Garlic and Spring Onion. The water turns into flavourful stock and it must not be wasted. I make this milky Ramen Soup using the stock. This soup tastes like ‘Tonkotsu’ Ramen Soup that is made by boiling Pork Bones for many …
