Quick question: has anyone tried tonkotsu ramen and has it had a noticeable effect on bg?
There's a Japanese restaurant up the road from me which does it, it's pork bones boiled for about 36 hrs to make a silky smooth broth, then about 60g egg noodles, some spring onions, seaweed and a few slices of char siu belly pork.
I pop in there for a bowl of it once a week or so, and there's a noticeable difference in bg stability over the next few days.
This has happened too many times for it to be coincidence - I'm using cgm, I ignore guff about cinnamon etc - but this meal just seems to make my bg insanely stable for several days.
Is there some hidden secret in pork broth, or the spices or whatever? Who knows, but would be interested in any views on this.
PS: the spicy "Hell" version is not as hot as it looks: they've toned down the chilli for us Western wusses!
