Notes
- You can make the birria up to 5 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to make the ramen.
- If you don’t have 8 cups of leftover birria broth, you can substitute in additional cups of beef broth until you reach the amount of broth needed for this recipe.
- To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten free ramen noodles and my homemade birria recipe, which is naturally gluten free.
- The spice level of this ramen will depend on the spice level of the birria. The birria recipe I’ve linked to in this post has a medium spice level. You can make it more spicy by adding more arbol chiles. Or to make it less spicy, omit the arbol chiles.
- Store leftover birria ramen in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheat the ramen in a pot on the stove over medium-high heat for 5-8 minutes. Or reheat the ramen in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 2 minutes.
