The verb is are. It connects the subject which is we to the predicate adjective which is hungry. We = hungry.

The verb in this sentence is "are". It is called a linking verb, because it connects the subject (we) to an adjective (hungry).

we are really hungry
has a verb "are"
we is the subject, a plural 1st person pronoun, plural of "I"
hungry is an adjective, modifying we
really is an adverb modifying the verb "are" or modifying hungry
we "really are" hungry, not just faking it
or we are "really hungry" as in we aren't faking it and the feeling we have of hunger is real too. "really" seems to mean "very" in this sentence
you might be tempted to equate we and really hungry
we = really hungry, but they aren't fully the same, that would make hungry into a noun, but it's an adjective. hunger can be a noun, as in we must fight world hunger. No matter how you view them, they leave "are" as the only verb.
