Egg, fresh or dliced hardboiled. Mushroos (white or crmini) and chopped onion (scallion or yellow). A drizzle of seseme oil and cracked black pepper. This is our standard ramen addition. Items we nearly always have on hand.
Other items I put in on occasion are frozen peas, fresh broccoli or asparagus, diced peppers of any color, chopped ham, chopped turkey breasy.
Honestly, almost anything can spice it up.
Now i want to try sausage, tomato and potatoe topped with shredded cheese. That sounds good on ramen. Never tried it though.

I like to add an egg. I crack the egg in right as the noodles are getting soft. I do not stir or scramble the egg. I let the egg poach and leave yolk runny. Sriracha or Texas Pete hot sauce. Been doing this a long time.

I usually toss the flavor (less) packet, boil the noodles and use them instead of rice for things I've cooked in the crock pot. Honey garlic chicken, Mongolian beef, etc... Making stuff in the crock pot is dead easy, usually 10 or 15 minutes of prep for recipes that make 6 or 8 servings and the Ramen noodles make a nice change from rice.

Throw away flavouring packet.
Boil water, throw in noodles, reduce to a simmer, add a drop of vinegar, get the noodles whirlpooling around the pot, crack an egg and drop it in the middle. Egg should be poached when the noodles are ready.
Drain. Add a splash of ABC Kecap Manis or any sweet soy.
Add a splash of any sweet chilli. Add a drop of fish sauce.
Add a half handful of chopped mushrooms or dried shitake mushrooms.
Add a half handful of dried fried onion or fresh shallots.
Add a half handful of cherry tomatoes.
Add one drop of sesame oil.
Pepper it.
Mix.

I've been using bouillon in place of the flavoring. For meat I used frozen fajita meat or diced chicken breasts.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
