Birria Ramen
Birria Ramen is a fushion dish that celebrates the marriage of combining traditional Japanese ramen with the rich flavors of Mexican birria stew. Ramen noodles are served in this flavorful broth, along with the tender pieces of tender beef. Cozy up to a bowl of this delicious birria ramen.
Servings: 4 people

Equipment
- 1 large Dutch oven or large pot
Ingredients
Soft-Boiled Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
Noodles:
- 4 portions fresh ramen noodles or instant noodles
Assembly:
- 3 cups birria broth from my Beef Birria recipe
- 3 cups store-bought or homemade beef broth
- Kosher salt to taste
- 1 1/2 cups shredded birria from my Beef Birria recipe
Garnish:
- 3 green onions thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup minced white onion (from about 1/4 cup white onion)
- Kosher salt
- 2 limes cut into wedges
- 1 radish thinly sliced (optional)
- 1 Pinch of sesame seeds
Instructions
To Make the Soft-Boiled Eggs:
- Place a medium pot of water over medium-high heat. When it comes to a gentle boil, drop in the eggs. Set your timer for seven minutes. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath. Take a bowl, add a few scoops of ice to the bowl and add some water to cover the ice. When the eggs are done boiling, drop them in the ice bath for about 30 seconds. Peel them and set them aside.
To Cook the Noodles:
- Cook ramen noodles according to the instructions on your package of ramen noodles. Drain and divide between two bowls.
To Assemble the Birria Ramen:
- Meanwhile, heat the birria broth with the beef broth, stirring to ensure they’re well combined. Taste the broth and add salt as desired. Divide the broth between the bowls. In a small bowl, mix together the minced cilantro and diced white onion, squeeze of lime and a pinch of salt.
- Slice the eggs in half. Top the ramen with the shredded beef birria, soft-boiled eggs, green onions, cilantro mixture and lime wedges. I like to add some sesame seeds on top of the eggs too. This is optional. Serve immediately.
Notes
Tips and Tricks:
- Ramen Noodles Brand. I like the brand Sun Noodles. You can find them at most Asian grocery stores and Whole Foods.
- Dried Peppers. I like to go to a Latin grocery store for all of my dried peppers and Mexican oregano.
