Adding things to other things. Don't just eat ramen noodles, add some peanut butter, frozen spinach, minced ginger, lemon juice and rice vinegar.

Dice up some garlic, mix it with lemon juice, mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. We can debate if it's actually aioli or not, but it's fucking delicious and you can put it on a lot of stuff.

    For ramen get some quality fish sauce (no salt on the bottom of the bottle is a good visual cue), a bit goes a ways, but it adds wonderful depth to noodles. Also, a touch of mayo is excellent for the poor-man's "creamy" style noodle dishes (like chicken flavour.)

    In the prison system over in the states they have a casual shared meal called "spread" (like a dinner party for convicts), and it truly takes dry shelf foods into art form.
