This Instant Pot Tonkotsu Ramen is perfectly portioned for two and is delicious until the last slurp! Tasty ramen noodles swim in a rich, silky broth topped with hearty mushrooms, crunchy bamboo shoots, bright spring onions, and a yolky soft boiled egg. Instant Pot Tonkotsu ramen noodles are so much better than the ones you had in college and are an amazing and flavorful meal to have after an eventful day in the sun.
I adore a piping hot bowl of comfort after a long hot day at the beach or pool.
Being out in the blazing heat then walking into a blasting A/C will absolutely chill you to the bone. And what about the sunburn chills? Have you ever had those? Like, it's kind of unreal. You're literally sweltering hot, but freezing cold at the same time. Chill bumps and all!
Luckily this Instant Pot Tonkutsu Ramen remedies those chills likety split!

my favourite things to cook when it is too hot, and it is too hot quite often in the desert....are things which require minimal time in the kitchen such as top ramen or hot dogs...and if it is really too hot...banana splits lol
