Birria Ramen: A Twist on Traditional Mexican Stew
Birria Ramen Recipe
Ingredients:
Birria:
3 dried ancho chiles
3 dried guajillo chiles
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 medium onion, coarsely diced
2 lb chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Cayenne pepper to taste (optional)
1 ½ tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp Mexican oregano
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp Aleppo pepper (optional)
Hot water for soaking chiles
Ramen Assembly:
Cooked ramen noodles (for serving)
Hard-boiled eggs, halved
Fresh cilantro, chopped
Lime wedges
Broth (reserved from the Birria sauce)
Additional toppings (optional): sliced radishes, diced onions, shredded cheese
Instructions:
1. Clean and Prepare the Chiles:
Wearing gloves, nip the tops of the dried ancho and guajillo chiles, slit the sides, and remove the seeds and ribs.
Tear the cleaned chiles into smaller pieces.
2. Toast and Soak the Chiles:
Toast the chiles in a dry pan for a few minutes until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
Add the toasted chiles to a pot of hot water and bring them to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the chiles soak for 15 minutes. Strain them once done, reserving the soaking liquid if desired.
3. Brown the Beef:
Season the chuck roast cubes with salt and pepper.
In a large, hot pan, sear the beef in batches to brown all sides, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Remove the browned meat and set it aside.
4. Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pan, add the diced onion and cook for about 5 minutes until translucent, soaking up the browned bits (fond) from the pan.
Add the smashed garlic cloves and cook for a few minutes longer.
5. Deglaze and Season:
Deglaze the pan with apple cider vinegar, scraping up any remaining fond.
Add ginger, cinnamon, cayenne (to taste), cumin, and Mexican oregano. Stir the spices into the onions and garlic, cooking briefly until fragrant.
6. Prepare the Sauce:
Add the crushed tomatoes, drained chiles, and Aleppo pepper (optional) to the pan. Use an immersion blender to blend everything into a smooth sauce (or transfer to a blender if needed).
Return the browned beef and any juices to the pot with the sauce. Stir to combine.
7. Braise the Birria:
Cover the pot and transfer it to a 325°F (160°C) oven. Braise the beef for about 3 hours until tender.
8. Assemble the Birria Ramen:
Once the Birria is done, remove it from the oven. Skim excess oil from the top if necessary.
In a serving bowl, add some cooked ramen noodles.
Pour in the broth from the Birria (you can thin it out with additional broth or water if needed), along with some of the Birria sauce.
Add a portion of the shredded Birria meat, and top with a halved hard-boiled egg.
Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. Serve with extra lime wedges and your choice of additional toppings, like sliced radishes or diced onions.
Enjoy!
This fusion of Birria and Ramen combines the rich, flavorful sauce of traditional Mexican stew with the comforting textures of ramen. Feel free to experiment with other braised meats and customize your toppings.

    I made instant pot mashed potatoes once and will never do it again. I didn't like the flavor at all. No matter how much butter, salt and cream I added. I ended up throwing them away. Haven't tried the sous vide method yet but will next time. I will just add butter in the bag before sealing.. no liquids. I'll do that in the bowl. I don't see the point of adding liquids in the bag. I do like the ricer idea.

    Usually most marinades I see that mention pickle brine only use it as a _component_ of the marinade, not the entire marinade. Maybe try experimenting with things such as a buttermilk marinade that includes a splash of pickle brine? Not that you have to by any means, but it could be a way to incorporate it and see what it adds when it's not the only thing the chicken is being marinated in!

    • @SeasonLiberally
      @SeasonLiberally 3 місяці тому

It’s fun to see what little changes you can make to something to bring a dish from good to great. Even better that it doesn’t seem to take much, either-brown your butter, toast your spices, add salt to finish. So cool.

    I have pork cooked in fat that was not cubed. I just cut the huge roast into 3 pieces. Im gonna cut the long fibers with kitchen shears and make the rillettes. We warm the cooked pork in a skillet, browning it a bit for sandwiches etc. But there is enough for this too. And I like the idea of having it on crusty bread. I make a vinegar based slaw to serve with the meat, or I serve it with a simple salad with a nice vinaigrette. I save the oil & stir fry broccoli etc. in it as well as using it for warming/browning the meat. I do offer German style sweet mustard or horseradish sauce with the sandwiches, so I'd add those to the serving platter of rillette too.

      @@avstryker Yeah, you can do it for a shorter time with less temp, I like the sort of muddling of flavors at this temp after some testing. But one thing you can do too is after you eat a batch of these, put some cucumbers in the old pickle juice, and put that in the fridge. This gives you a really well developed quick pickle because that pickle brine has steeped at temp with the spices but it also has great crunch and doesn't permeate the cucumber as much as it does under heat.

    2:29 A hard boiled egg is hard to peel if it is cooked on the day it has been laid by the hen. It's still somewhat harder to peel, if booled 2-3 days after it has been laid. The invasive washing, with chlorine, drying, and cooling procedure required in the USA, by USDA, make it so no fresh eggs are sold in stores there. So, no fresh eggs = no hard to peel eggs. Fresh eggs can locally be very hard to find for sale, even in countries with less time consuming/ancient required egg cleaning procedures (within EU, the 1970's washing procedures used in the USA, is no longer legally allowed, because it astronomically increase the risk of diseases, like salmonella (no risk of eggs with salmonella in EU stores, partly because diseases like salmonella can't get inside the egg shell, like in the USA, partly because the older washing is replaced by regulated rigorous (but much more expensive) testing procedures), and the eggs rot if not delivered with a perfectly maintained cool chain). All the large egg producers in Sweden and Norway, wait at least 5 days to deliver the eggs to the stores, as to not get complaints from customers about eggs that are hard to peel and handle. 5 days, after egg laying, nothing much happens with how you have to adjust how to handle the eggs, they are pretty consistent (even though they don't taste as good). Eggs are really delicious a few hours after they have been laid, taste OK on day 2-5 after they have been laid, and taste really boring after 7 days. In the USA, the regulated sell before date on eggs are 30 days from when they were PACKED. In Sweden, where I live, eggs are sold unrefrigerated, and the regulated "best before" date on eggs is 28 days after they have been LAID BY THE HEN. Although they are still usable a couple of months after the "best before" date, if stored in normal room temperature, and about a year after the "best before" date, if stored in a refrigerator. [ The washed eggs sold in the USA, has a much shorter life span, because the washing destroys some of the natural protective layers on the eggs.)
