Ramen (toroniku)

Celia Sin-Tien Cheng

Did I mention I love fat? As a little girl, I preferred fat to lean meat. I liked the taste, and I was also told by who knows who that it gives you good, smooth skin. Anyway, toroniku is slow-cooked stewed pork with layers of fat. Because it’s slow-cooked, technically, the fat should no longer be that fatty, but still tasty. The toroniku ramen is one of the richest ramens I’ve ever tasted. The pieces of cabbage added on top are an interesting touch and add a tad of levity to an otherwise seriously heavy meal.
