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

If I’m trying to make it a real meal whatever veg / seafood / meat I might have around. But my lazy addition is a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter (and usually some extra spice) makes it feel more nutritious creamier and kinda like satay.
See, people think that me using butter is weird, but peanut butter sounds atrocious to me and multiple people have suggested it.
You should try it! Personally, I don’t find butter weird (I think it’s just people don’t think of it as an ‘Asian’ ingredient) but I was shocked by the mayo. But a couple of folks mentioned it, so I’m going to try!
And thanks for this post BTW, I’m a bachelor again for a week while my partner is away, so I’ll defintely be cracking out the ramen. And now I can pretend I’m experimenting, rather than just being lazy!
Peanut butter + sriracha + a bit of lime juice for “pad thai” works well.
Add some cilantro garlic soy and chili oil and that’s a top tier 5 minute meal, I usually whip the sauce up while microwaving the noodles in a bowl, stir fry for 2 mins and done
Boil tea and using that to cook the noodles. Poach one or two eggs with the noodles. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Fried spam.
- crack an egg into it.
- add some curry paste.
- add fresh green onions.
Sprinkle some nori rice seasoning.

A soft boiled egg and some kimchi.
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)
Add instant potatoes until it gets to the desired thickness and add ground beef and cheese.
In college we called it “poverty slop”This sounds bomb as fuck to me.
Chop up a spring onion and chuck that in with some toasted sesame seeds.
For a bit more effort I’ll chuck in some frozen stir fry veg when I’m cooking it. Sometimes I do an egg too
Make the noodles in a pot, drain, put in flavor packet and pepper.
Revolutionary
I add some butter too so it makes a bit of a sauce, and don’t be too thorough when draining so that there’s a little bit of starchy water to saucify things even more.
I made some
rocket fuelchili oil a while back. I add about half a teaspoon to the water while waiting for it to boil.I put boiled eggs, frozen vegetables, and chili crisp along with any leftovers I have. Today I had some extra bacon but things like pork chops or chicken is good too.
Still experimenting with different brands of chili crisp. I like the ones with a bit of crunch but they are not spicy enough. I put a couple big spoonfuls on top and would like it hotter with less oil.
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.
Concentrated ramen broth concentrate. Mizkan and Yamasa have a few varieties, including tonkotsu, shoyu, and vegetarian. Had to go to half a dozen stores. A mom-n-pop Japanese market had them on the shelf.
The suggested servings are way too salty. 1/2 to 1 tbsp is enough to really enhance the flavor.
