    I splurge on the slightly more expensive imported ones from my local Asian supermarket, I stir fry some veggies and maybe add a boiled egg to round it out to a meal

    Edit: love the cheap ones too, they had my back when no other food did

      Have you tried an egg drop? Literally just scramble an egg and pour it in the broth while it's cooking.

        I'll have to try that the next time I make a more soupy noodles pack, thanks for the tip!

    SHIN RAMYUN

    Chop dehydrated shiitakes and toss in while cooking. Towards the end crack an egg into the ramen, turn the heat off and put the lid on to cook the egg. So fucking good

    I like to pour the finished soup over fresh veggies, usually sugar peas and green onion (though sometimes little pieces of broccoli or carrot). Also I like to season it with extra garlic and black pepper, sometimes finely powdered jalapeno or chipotles. BEHOLD!

    Can't fuck with the soupy instant ramen anymore. The creamy ones like nissin soba or the buldak ones are a good once in a while snack you can keep in your pantry

    So much salt but so good.......

    I'm gonna buy some of that ramen illegal in Denmark for being too spicy later lol

    Really love how it has become cheaper or something to use chemical slurries than actual meat or animal products in instant noodles, I mean this genuinely

    Ive learned recently how easy it is to make noodles with stir fried vegetables. I base it off of chow mein but add whole wheat noodles. You cant get the same texture from frying the noodles when theyre whole wheat. But thats fine because it removes a step.

    I make a sauce with 1 part oyster sauce, and 2 parts each of soy sauce and gochujang, plus a small amount of whole seed mustard. Plus garlic powder because im lazy.

    I stir fry the white parts of the green onion, cabbage, and carrot in toasted sesame oil. Then garnish with the green green onion.

    Its not as fast as instant but its still quick and cheap. And its wayyy healthier.

    When ive made instant noodles in broth ive enjoyed adding okra.
