Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 packets ramen noodles (discard seasoning packages)
  • 4 cups birria broth
  • 1 cup birria meat
  • 2 large eggs for soft-boiling
  • 1 piece green onion (sliced) for garnish

Method
 

Cooking the Broth
  1. In a large saucepan, heat the birria broth over medium heat. Add the birria meat to the broth.
  2. Bring the broth to a boil. If you prefer a thinner soup, you can add one cup of water or beef broth at this point.
Cooking the Noodles
  1. When the broth is boiling, add the ramen noodles to the pot. Cook according to the package instructions. Once cooked, set the noodles aside.
Boiling the Eggs
  1. In a separate pot, boil water and gently add the eggs. Boil the eggs for about 5 minutes until they are soft-boiled.
  2. Once boiled, take the eggs out and place them in cold water for a few minutes. This will help you peel them easily.
Assembling the Dish
  1. Divide the soup with birria and noodles between two bowls.
  2. Slice each soft-boiled egg in half and place them atop each bowl of ramen.
  3. Finally, sprinkle the sliced green onion on top for added flavor and presentation.

Notes

Birria ramen is best served hot and fresh. Serve with lime wedges or hot sauce on the side for extra flavor.
