Do you put stuff in your instant ramen noodles?

Instant ramen noodles seem kinda boring when cooked. Nothing but noodles and the soup base. So I add stuff to it. Chopped onion shoots, boiled egg slices, and maybe a few slices of SPAM, bacon bits, or even strips of bacon itself. I'm probably grossing people out with this stuff.

Do you put stuff in your instant noodles to make them more… interesting… to eat? :)

Pepper, powdered garlic, Hotsauce, chopped chicken, corn, shredded carrots, yes onions, and some of this "complete seasoning" stuff in a green bottle. Since the corn and carrots don't come in the packaged ramen and only in the cup, I gotta add it myself.

I like to add bits of celery, lettuce, and/or carrots sometimes – especially to the spicy flavors.

Also, I never drink the broth. I always drain the noodles. I'm weird.

when I wasn't a veggiemuncher, I used to put in left over bits of chicken. Oh man that was so yumtastic.

No… The only time I eat ramen noodles is when I'm too poor to afford any other food, so I generally have nothing to chop up and put in them, lol.

Oooo, I love two packages of cooked Ramen, a bag of premade coleslaw, a couple of cooked shreaded chicked breasts and some bean sprouts and mushrooms if I have them. Drench in Soy Sauce…So yummy.

When I eat ramen I usually don't want to put in a lot of effort, so I do something easy. I usually put in some frozen peas and canned corn.

I add a raw egg to it when the noodles are boiling and I mix it in. Sliced ham is also a yummy ingredient. :P

In combinations based on availability and the flavor of the soup base:

1. Fresh eggs
2. Fresh veggies - lettuce, romaine lettuce, bok, mustard green, parsley, broccoli, cucumbers, spinach, green/red peppers, cabbage, collards, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes.
3. Meat - chicken, beef, pork.
4. Seafood - shrimp, scuttlefish, fish.

My ramen bowl is usually 70% fresh broiled stuff + 30% ramen, because I put so much of the veggies and meat into the pot. The soup is often green.

Blood of the innocent. Give it that sweet "I'm an axe murderer" taste.

Ooh! Green onions and potatoes in ramen are AWESOME. Whenever I don't have any money I just nerd out on that stuff. Somehow, it actually makes ramen more manly.

Yeah, it really makes stretching the budget a bit more bearable to add some flavors and such to ramen noodles. Personally, I buy budget ground beef, which is terrible as a burger patty, but works fine for frying up, chopping into pieces, and mixing with ramen. Be sure to let it soak for a bit to help lessen its rubbery texture, though…

I shove in whatever that seem reasonable.
-SPAM
-Sausage
-Fish Cake
-Rice Cake
-Green onions
-Onions
-raw eggs (x2 usually)
-Dumplings (if available)
-canned tuna (rarely)
-shrimps

I started to add these when I was around 11. My ramen can put any other ramens in Asian restaurants to complete shame.

Hm, maybe I should consider adding soft tofu in it as well.

@ Sarah:

You've never put eggs into ramen?? That's like the oldest ramen trick in the book.

Take a raw egg (or 2) out of the carton. Crack it. Open it over the boiling pot. Cook it for no more than 1 minute (put it in near the end of cooking the ramen).

Some of my favorite things to add are chopped ham or turkey. For a little bit of zest, crushed red peppers (the pizza topping) is pretty good, too!

I've never put anything in ramen. XP Thanks, I may give that a try.

I like putting chicken and bits of fried egg in mine.
