Method
- Prepare the birria ahead of time (up to 5 days in advance), keeping the shredded beef and broth separate for easy assembly.
- Add the birria broth to a large pot on the stove over high heat and bring to a rolling boil.
- Once the broth begins to boil, add the ramen noodles and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent clumping.
- Add the shredded birria beef to the pot with the broth and noodles, stirring gently to combine without breaking up the noodles.
- Keep on the stove for 1 to 2 minutes more to heat the beef through completely.
- Ladle the ramen into individual serving bowls, ensuring each portion has noodles, broth, and beef.
- Top with desired optional toppings: diced red onions, sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and soft boiled eggs.
Notes
This recipe requires prepared birria, which can be made up to 5 days in advance. Total prep time does not include making birria from scratch (3-4 hours). If you don't have 8 cups of birria broth, substitute additional beef broth. For gluten-free version, use gluten-free ramen noodles. Spice level depends on your birria recipe. Adjust arbol chiles to taste. Store leftover birria beef and broth separately from noodles for best results.
