Birria ramen is a rich and comforting fusion dish that combines slow-simmered beef birria broth with springy ramen noodles, finished with tender shredded meat, a soft-boiled egg, and fresh toppings for a deeply satisfying bowl.

  • 6 dried guajillo chiles
  • 3 dried ancho chiles
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  3. Place beef in a large pot and pour the blended sauce over it.
  4. Add bay leaves, salt, and water or broth, then bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Cook on low heat for 2.5 to 3 hours until the beef is tender.
  6. Shred the beef and return it to the broth, straining if desired.
