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.

Try putting the egg in later, so it's still soft after cooking.

You can buy crispy onion pretty cheaply, put it on at the end to give it a little texture.

Try it soupy, try it dry. Try draining it and adding the seasoning to the dry noodles.

Big spoonful of peanut butter / gochujang / miso / langaoma

Frozen veggies.

Mince meat, shredded chicken,

There's also heaps of different brands, give em a whirl.
