Two to three drops of sesame oil will help the flavor of any ramen considerably. Also a dash of chili flakes, or a tiny (like 1/2 tsp) scoop of fermented miso. Oh and a pinch of MSG

Go to an Asian market and buy better Ramen. The good brands have three packets, soup base, flavored oil, and chili…

Though everyone else’s recommendations are much more healthy.

Any green herbs you have on hand or in your garden. Leaks, onion, mints, etc. From the Asian market you can also get seaweed, sesame oil, pepper flakes, soy sauce which also give a lot of milage.

Some cheap frozen gyoza, some pak choy (or bok choy), an egg or 2, top it with sesame seeds.

Get a squeeze bottle of that Gojujang sauce. It makes a lot of food better.

I usually add a bit of soy sauce and Gochujang and anything veggie I have a home cut into small pieces, like julienned carrots, leeks, mushrooms, kohlrabi, brussel sprouts, …

My girlfriend yells at me cuz I’ll drop a can of green beans in it with an egg, apparently frozen is fine, but canned is gross

Ramen eggs if I remember to make them. Otherwise I like adding some dried mushrooms when it’s boiling away. Even if it already has some, more mushrooms!

I toss copious amount of green onions in

mushrooms are great, even raw

peppers do ok

these are things I often have around so I don’t get fancy I just toss 'em in

Throw the packet away. Reserve a little water you boil in. Drain pasta. Add pepper, parm cheese and some of that water you reserved

#2. Cook a breaded chicken patty. Boil ramen noodles. Toss the packet. Plate the noodles. Top with chicken patty. Top that with red sauce. Finally add a sprinkle of mozzarella

My favorite is frying mushrooms and an egg in oil while the ramen microwaves then combining them

Chili Garlic Sauce. Hoisin. Soy Sauce. Sesame Oil.

My go to additions:

• frozen peas/corn
• TINY AMOUNT of sesame oil
• a big glob of chili oil
• an egg or two
• american cheese
