Ideas for very simple improvements to instant noodles? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I pretty frequently eat Shin Ramyun noodles when I want a lazy meal, but apart from having absolutely nothing healthy in it, it also gets bland over time.

I've started cutting some spring onion and cracking an egg into it at the start, letting the egg get hard and the onion soft, in the boiling water with the noodles themselves. Do any of you have ideas to improve it further without much effort? I'd like to keep cooking times, including the ~5 minutes for the noodles themselves below 10 minutes total.

Sliced bok choy, julienned ham, julienned carrots, baby spinach, slices of pancetta... If you're willing to pre-funk some ingredients up to a few days in advance, you can have more tasty additions such as marinated hardboiled eggs, lap cheong (shelf-stable until you open the package), chashu, crispy pork belly, Chinese or Japanese brisket curry.
