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.

using a silicon ice cube maker- saute a 2:2:1 ratio by volume mix of very finely sliced garlic, shallot and ginger. add equal amount of that finely sliced spring onion after they get fragrant and saute till those are wilted. spoon into the ice cube maker and tamp down until packed tight, freeze them and use them one cube at a time with ramen.

you can freeze any prepared combo of stuff this way and put them in the ramen later. garlic-onion-mushroom-black pepper and add soy sauce while cooking for black pepper noodles, for example.
