I’ve always got some chopped up leek/spring onions/chives in my freezer that I put into my ramen.

Sesame seeds are also nice, especially those toasted flavoured ones you can sometimes find at Asian supermarkets.

I also splash in a little bit of soy sauce and or toasted sesame seed oil.

I guess you could put eggs in too, since real ramen often has a half of an egg floating in it. Not sure if a plain boiled egg would really work the same though.

Now, does any of this fundamentally change the experience of eating instant ramen? No, but it does provide a facsimile of actual cooking and with rising food prices that’s probably the best we can soon hope to achieve :doomer:

Before I was vegan, egg a must, just crack it in. Now, kimchi or just chopped cabbage. In the hard days, peanut butter

Look up After Prison Show on Youtube. He has a whole series on prison cooking, which uses ramen as the base for many dishes. They get super creative in there with what is basically the food you can get at a gas station plus an onion.

I add the egg. I also enjoy adding some bouillon to the boiling water, and adding spinach right at the end. Looking for more options though!

The flavour packets in most instant ramen kind of taste like a bouillon cube anyway already

The cheapest and most depressing chicken ones are basically just a bunch of watery noodles with a quarter of a chicken stock cube

It will! Especially if you time it right and the egg is still gooey on the inside
