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, usually about 4-5 minutes.
- Reheat birria: While the noodles are cooking, reheat the birria broth and shredded birria in separate medium pots or saucepans over medium heat until hot, about 5-8 minutes.
- Drain noodles: Once cooked, strain the ramen noodles and evenly divide them into 4 serving bowls.
- Assemble ramen: Pour 1 cup of the hot birria broth and ½ cup of shredded birria meat into each bowl over the noodles.
- Add toppings and serve: Garnish each bowl with sliced radishes, sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, a squeeze of lime juice, and a soft-boiled egg if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, comforting flavors.
Notes
- This recipe works best using leftover birria to save time; however, you can prepare fresh birria in advance following a detailed birria recipe.
- The birria broth can be thick; if you prefer a thinner, more soupy texture, add ½ to 1 cup of beef broth or some cooled ramen noodle cooking water to dilute it.
- To add heat, incorporate sriracha sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes on top.
- Cook ramen noodles separately in salted water rather than in birria broth to avoid a greasy texture.
