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

Egg and chilli crisp both work equally well to elevate ramen. I still use their powder pack, but I’m sure there are good recipes without so much salt.
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.
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.
A couple/few steamed eggs, bean sprouts, some relevant protein to the flavor of ramen I’m having, be it sliced lunch meat, left over pot roast, what have you.
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)
Any combination of ginger, garlic, onion, pepper, and whatever leftover meat and/or veggies I’ve got.
Or, if I have leftover soup, I do one cup water, one cup soup and one half of the seasoning pouch. It’s especially great with cabbage and sausage soup, but split pea is pretty good too.
A soft boiled egg and some kimchi.
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.
Stir fry the cooked noodles with whatever.
Spam and fried egg is a classic. Maybe some kimchi or whatever leafy vegetables I have around
I’ve never heard of using spam until today but a few people suggested it. I have cheap “spam” in the house so maybe I will try it.
I think the Spam thing is part of Korean food culture with their “army stew”, made from ramen, spam, baked beans, kimchi, cheese and such.
kimchi or an egg
ooh, kimchi in ramen sounds interesting, I may try that…
An egg and some onions
….butter??? In ramen???
Yes. Not a whole bunch but it makes it like a creamy texture. Idk I been eating it that way since I was a kid. The mustard normally trips people out too, but when they try it they say its good.
You only need a little. Fat disperses flavor.
Yeah, but sesame oil is customary.
Yeah! And most ramen base is park, so maybe lard? Except idk what lard taste like straight lol
Butter corn miso ramen is a thing in Sapporo. Probably invented to promote regional products (Hokkaido is famous for corn and dairy) to tourists.
Egg, peanut butter, frozen peas, chopped up deli meats, thin sliced cabbage, sriracha or gochujang.
Mint Jams by Casiopea is really good.
