Spicing up ramen?

[FartoTheWise]

Ahhhhhhhhh! The best of cheap foods. I personally like to add either an egg, some onions. And honestly, a slice of cheese on the ramen once you drop it in.

What about you?

I like to cook some Italian sausage or ground beef and add my ramen noodles to it. I also add some chopped onion and garlic. Oh, and I drain almost all the water off the noodles before I add everything together. It's kind of like Do-it-yourself hamburger helper!

This is a trade secret of my poor tongue abused days when all I ate had consisted of brick noodle:

Boil the water.
While it boils grab some frozen veggies. Peas and corn are a fantastic combo. Pour over said vegetables about a quarter cup of lemon juice. Shake your desired hot sauce upon thy veggie mix with half a packet of the seasoning. Lay sweet sweet brick of noodle over mixture and pour that boiling water. Poached egg atop. Good times. I would add an olive/caper mix sometimes when using less of the seasoning packet. Fills out the soup.

I've tried putting an egg on but it didn't really do anything for me, I just put some veggies in with the ramen, some soy sauce and I'm happy.

I enjoy spicing up my ramen with a grilled sausage, which adds a heart meat flavor. The sausage confers a lot of salt and spice so that you need less of the seasoning packet that comes with the ramen. I like to add some sort of pickled or fermented vegetables that make the soup more complex, as well as make the soup lighter. One egg also adds a nice presentation piece and flavor to the ramen.

I do the "add an egg" thing too. It really helps, in my opinion. Occasionally some onions will add a nice bit of flavor, especially with some of the more bland ramen flavors. Ah, glamours poverty.

I love doing different things with ramen.
Really like making a simple egg drop soup with it, slowly stirring in beaten eggs.

This is my favourite way of making eggs and ramen.

Crunch the noodles so they fit in a mug, add seasoning and water. Nuke for 3 minutes and top with Mrs. dash.

egg is great in ramen, i also like to put ham for extra flavour, and some cabbage to make it a bit healthier. If it is available i get some pre-boiled eggs and slip one of those in. Pepper and sesame seed oil for the finishing touches.

I love this too. For an extra kick, I put in chili flakes as well. Sometimes, I top it with ham or chicken. I was pleasantly surprised with how great cheese on ramen can taste
