I normally start with hot sauce, butter, and mustard in mine.

    Step 1: Put water in the kettle

    Step 2: Click the little button

    Step 3: Open your noodles, and put them in the bowl, along with the spices, vegetables and oil

    Step 4: Once the kettle turns off pour the water onto the noodles till it covers about half

    Step 5: Put a plate over the bowl and wait about 4 minutes

    If I'm trying to make it a real meal whatever veg / seafood / meat I might have around. But my lazy addition is a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter (and usually some extra spice) makes it feel more nutritious creamier and kinda like satay.

    Hot sauce and a soft boiled egg

    Chili crisp is a game changer for me. And i chop and freeze cilantro in an ice cube tray, so I have fresh cilantro to throw in at the very end. I'm going to start doing that with spring onions too, because I never use them all before they go bad.

    I didn't see this listed yet, but this is by far the best I've had. I use Shin Ramen, it's pretty spicy. This offsets the spice a little, but it's still pretty spicy. I'm sure this works with other ramen just fine as well.

    Noodles and flavor/herb packets into bowl with water, bowl into microwave.

    In another bowl put 1 egg, about the yolks sized amount of kewpie mayo, and a few shakes of soy sauce, however much you want. Whisk it all together well.

    Once your noodles are done cooking, SLOWLY pour its super hot contents into the egg mixture while whisking the entire time. Basically you don't want it to get hot enough to cook the egg until it all evenly incorporates.

    Enjoy. I like this more than most restaurant ramen.

    Sometimes I'll add meats or a boiled egg or green onions if I have it on hand, but that's absolutely not necessary for it to be amazing.

    Make the ramen as normal but once the noods are cooked crack an egg, add some mayo, then stir it all up. It adds great flavor and makes the meal more filling.

    Frozen veggies so I feel like it’s a real meal.

    Fire-roasted corn is a fave, then usually peas and carrots, and the weird one I found: frozen okra. It seemed wrong but I had some on hand and figured why not? Turns out I like it a lot! It also thickens the broth just a bit in a good way.

    My parents briefly hired a private chef. She used (frozen) okra in ways I never expected and it’s what made me always keep a bag on hand.

    The best was oven-roasted veggies with beets and asparagus (fresh) plus okra and fire-roasted corn (frozen). Nothing else, not even seasoning, and it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

    She also used it in salads! I questioned it until I tried it, and then I was sold.

    Boil tea and using that to cook the noodles. Poach one or two eggs with the noodles. Salt and pepper to taste.

    A soft boiled egg and some kimchi.

    First of all, I never use that flavor packet. It’s a ridiculous amount of sodium.

    To keep it quick and easy, I’d use garlic powder and/or chili flakes.

    Edit: pepper, too. Pepper mills are inexpensive, and fresh ground pepper is MUCH better.

    Sauces, Sauces and more sauces. I never user the flavor packet (Or just use a little bit) and add my own sauces. Soy sauce, fish sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, miso etc. They are just sitting there ready to be used to make it delicious

    Chop up a spring onion and chuck that in with some toasted sesame seeds.

    For a bit more effort I'll chuck in some frozen stir fry veg when I'm cooking it. Sometimes I do an egg too

    I put boiled eggs, frozen vegetables, and chili crisp along with any leftovers I have. Today I had some extra bacon but things like pork chops or chicken is good too.

    Still experimenting with different brands of chili crisp. I like the ones with a bit of crunch but they are not spicy enough. I put a couple big spoonfuls on top and would like it hotter with less oil.

    If it's Korean noodle soup (like buldak or nongshim), I throw in some sliced spam, an egg, fresh spring onion and a couple slices of American cheese (that plastic cheese they use on burgers). If it's dry noodles, specifically IndoMie's Mee Goreng, I shit you not, try adding a teaspoon of unsalted peanut butter in there.
