For the Birria
- 4 cups birria broth, from my birria recipe
- 2 cups shredded birria, from my birria recipe
For the Ramen
- 8 ounces ramen noodles
- Water, as needed
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
For Serving
- Sliced radishes
- Sesame seeds
- Chopped cilantro
- Diced red onion
- Lime juice
- Soft-boiled egg (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the noodles: Add enough water to cover the ramen noodles in a large pot. Bring the water to a boil and add 2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until tender, about 4-5 minutes.
- Reheat birria: While the noodles are cooking, reheat 4 cups of birria broth and 2 cups of shredded birria in separate medium pots or saucepans over medium heat until hot, approximately 5-8 minutes.
- Drain noodles: Strain the cooked ramen noodles and divide them evenly into 4 serving bowls.
- Assemble the ramen: Pour 1 cup of hot birria broth and ½ cup of shredded birria meat over the noodles in each bowl.
- Add toppings: Garnish each bowl with sliced radishes, sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Optionally, top with a soft-boiled egg for extra richness.
- Serve immediately: Serve the birria ramen hot for the best flavor and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- This recipe works great with leftover birria or freshly made birria broth and meat.
- If you prefer a thinner, soupy broth, add ½ to 1 cup of beef broth or some ramen noodle cooking water to the birria broth to adjust consistency.
- For extra spice, add sriracha sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
- Cooking the ramen noodles separately in salted water prevents the broth from becoming greasy, preserving a cleaner flavor.
