Pork Bone Noodle Soup (Low-Calorie)
A lightened tonkotsu-style ramen built on a quick pork-and-kombu broth instead of the usual hours-long fatty bone simmer, topped with lean seared pork tenderloin slices, soba noodles, soft egg, scallion and wilted spinach. Rich umami flavour comes through miso and dashi rather than added fat.
