Ingredients
Broth and Meat
- 2 cups birria consommé (from beef birria or store-bought broth)
- ½ cup shredded birria beef
Noodles
- 1 package instant ramen noodles (discard flavor packet)
Garnishes
- 1 soft-boiled egg
- Diced onion (to taste)
- Fresh cilantro (to taste)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat the Broth: Pour the birria consommé into a pot and bring it to a simmer over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld and the broth to warm thoroughly.
- Cook the Noodles: Add the instant ramen noodles to the simmering broth and cook them according to the package instructions, usually about 3-4 minutes, until tender.
- Add the Beef: Stir in the shredded birria beef to warm it through and infuse the noodles with the rich birria flavor.
- Assemble the Dish: Ladle the hot birria ramen into bowls and top each serving with a soft-boiled egg, diced onions, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges to squeeze over for brightness.
Notes
- For a more intense flavor, simmer and reduce the birria broth before adding the noodles to concentrate the taste.
- Use homemade birria consommé if possible for authentic depth of flavor, but store-bought broth works well in a pinch.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding extra chili or birria seasoning if desired.
