Ramen topper from Costco. Pretty good, fish cakes are a little sweet.

I made a great stock from chicken carcass (nothing more added) and I have some pork neck bones I could use. With one or both of these ingredients how would you recommend I best use them for Intermediate effort ramen soup?
I'm good on the toppings and noodles, just wondering what to do with the broth(s) to make as impressive a ramen as I can in, say, a single day. Are these broths going to be good enough to go in with a tare and convince me it was made at a shop?

So how sacrilegious would it be if I put heavy cream in my homemade tonkotsu broth?
I’ve had the pleasure of tasting several tonkotsu ramen bowls on my trip to Japan, and frankly, it’s about the dang tastiest thing I’ve ever had. I don’t know how they do it, but it tastes as rich as liquid butter. There have been many days I have drifted off into space dreaming about it since returning home.
Naturally, I have tried to no avail to recreate this in my home in the U.S., and it just doesn’t even hold a candle. I’ve boiled the pig trotters, neck bones, etc etc for 12 hours-the whole shebang, and it’s just not it. While it has lots of collagen, it lacks that thick, creamy richness that’s so characteristic of tonkotsu broth.
Recently, I made a creamy chicken soup (using a dash of cream) and couldn’t help but notice the consistency was more for what I was going for with my ramen. Which leads me to the question: would it be absolutely insane for me to add a dash of heavy cream to my homemade tonkotsu broth? Would Japanese chefs be as offended as when you tell an Italian you added cream to your Alfredo sauce? I’m trying to figure this out here!

Nothing crazy impressive, but I'm finally starting to nail down my soy eggs.

Tori paitan from Kawae in Minneapolis. $18. More chicken than ramen. Good not great. Won’t go back. 🤷♂️

Big batch of ramen, do I keep noodles separate?
I've been on a ramen noodle kick and make a batch that lasts many 3 to 5 days. I've been putting ramen noodles at the end of cooking and the next day it's ok but not great. Should I just keep them separate? Is there a better noodle to get that doesn't need to be boiled? I've been buying the blue label one from Jewel.. can't remember the name. Would an Asian grocery be better with cold noodles that just need a little heat?
