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

An egg and some onions
I drop an egg in when heating up the water, do a quick reconstitute sauté of some dried mushrooms in butter with a little garlic and then top with a sheet of nori and fresh scallion.
I keep some frozen vegetables to add in. Corn, peas, peppers, and onions usually.
Frozen onions?
- Fried spam.
- crack an egg into it.
- add some curry paste.
- add fresh green onions.
Make your own broth from concentrates and things like doenjang, miso, gochjang, hoisin, fish sauce etc. Then a bunch of veg. If I’m feeling it, ill use fresh veggies and prepare each accordingly, but if I’m making a quick bowl, a big handful of frozen veg does the trick.
kimchi or an egg
ooh, kimchi in ramen sounds interesting, I may try that…
I made some
rocket fuel chili oil a while back. I and about half a teaspoon to the water while waiting for it to boil.Egg, julienned courgette
For fellow Americans just waking up, observe how much better this sounds than ‘zoodles’
(and don’t @ me about chiffonades and spiralizing and julienning. actually do, spiralizers kick ass)
Start with miso or vegetable broth, with dark soy sauce, pepper/paprika, MSG, and maybe a little garlic if you’re feeling it. (Light soy sauce too if you don’t use the flavor packet, I use the soy sauce flavor top ramen packet though)
Add silken tofu, bok choy, and mushrooms (I like enoki and shiitake)
Wait a bit, add noodles, let it cook.
Drizzle some toasted sesame oil on top
Eat with chopsticks and slurp the broth!
Bok choi, Sriracha and a crispy fried egg.
And some MSG if it can take it.
Aside - any broadly available alternatives to Huy Fong? I know they fucked their supplier, and I’ve heard it’s not the same anymore.
I just had some of the new stuff today for the first time today, its still better than any alternative I tried while they were on shortage. I just finished my “real” stash up yesterday so I have a good base for a comparison. I did think it tasted a little different, but its definitely not bad.
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.
Bone broth, you get me?
Make the noodles in a pot, drain, put in flavor packet and pepper.
Revolutionary
The “ramulet” 2 egg omelette with ramen noodles
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.
