Ask Lemmy

1. A spoon of TomYum Soup paste (spicy ground shrimp basically)
2. Diced onions and bell peppers added raw once the ramen is off the heat. Adds crunch with taste
3. Any of my favourite cup soup mix, mostly hot and sour

Make it with miso, tempeh, whatever veggies I have around

Soft boiled egg, always. I usually have some kimchi, so that, too. Got a bag of nori sheets for sushi, so I cut up some of that as well. Made my own chili oil, and a friend got me some momofuku chili crisp, and I alternate between those two. Always growing some green onion out back, so some of that, too... Sliced ham? Hell yeah. I also keep a jar of pickled carrots shreds, so why not. Thin slivers of red onion, too. Toasted sesame seeds sometimes, just a little, for texture.

Ramen takes a long time to make at my place, but I got just about whatever you could want.

Sprinkle some nori rice seasoning.

Any combination of ginger, garlic, onion, pepper, and whatever leftover meat and/or veggies I've got.

Or, if I have leftover soup, I do one cup water, one cup soup and one half of the seasoning pouch. It's especially great with cabbage and sausage soup, but split pea is pretty good too.

I drop an egg in when heating up the water, do a quick reconstitute sauté of some dried mushrooms in butter with a little garlic and then top with a sheet of nori and fresh scallion.

I put boiled eggs, frozen vegetables, and chili crisp along with any leftovers I have. Today I had some extra bacon but things like pork chops or chicken is good too.

Still experimenting with different brands of chili crisp. I like the ones with a bit of crunch but they are not spicy enough. I put a couple big spoonfuls on top and would like it hotter with less oil.

An egg and some onions

• Fried spam.
• crack an egg into it.
• add some curry paste.
• add fresh green onions.

Make the noodles in a pot, drain, put in flavor packet and pepper.

Putting boiling water in it for once instead of eating it dry :3

I didn't see this listed yet, but this is by far the best I've had. I use Shin Ramen, it's pretty spicy. This offsets the spice a little, but it's still pretty spicy. I'm sure this works with other ramen just fine as well.

Noodles and flavor/herb packets into bowl with water, bowl into microwave.

In another bowl put 1 egg, about the yolks sized amount of kewpie mayo, and a few shakes of soy sauce, however much you want. Whisk it all together well.

Once your noodles are done cooking, SLOWLY pour its super hot contents into the egg mixture while whisking the entire time. Basically you don't want it to get hot enough to cook the egg until it all evenly incorporates.

Enjoy. I like this more than most restaurant ramen.

Sometimes I'll add meats or a boiled egg or green onions if I have it on hand, but that's absolutely not necessary for it to be amazing.

If it's Korean noodle soup (like buldak or nongshim), I throw in some sliced spam, an egg, fresh spring onion and a couple slices of American cheese (that plastic cheese they use on burgers). If it's dry noodles, specifically IndoMie's Mee Goreng, I shit you not, try adding a teaspoon of unsalted peanut butter in there.

If I'm trying to make it a real meal whatever veg / seafood / meat I might have around. But my lazy addition is a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter (and usually some extra spice) makes it feel more nutritious creamier and kinda like satay.

I keep some frozen vegetables to add in. Corn, peas, peppers, and onions usually.

Hot sauce and a soft boiled egg

Boil tea and using that to cook the noodles. Poach one or two eggs with the noodles. Salt and pepper to taste.

Frozen veggies so I feel like it’s a real meal.

Fire-roasted corn is a fave, then usually peas and carrots, and the weird one I found: frozen okra. It seemed wrong but I had some on hand and figured why not? Turns out I like it a lot! It also thickens the broth just a bit in a good way.

First of all, I never use that flavor packet. It’s a ridiculous amount of sodium.

To keep it quick and easy, I’d use garlic powder and/or chili flakes.

Edit: pepper, too. Pepper mills are inexpensive, and fresh ground pepper is MUCH better.

Make the ramen as normal but once the noods are cooked crack an egg, add some mayo, then stir it all up. It adds great flavor and makes the meal more filling.

Defiant jazz

Sauces, Sauces and more sauces. I never user the flavor packet (Or just use a little bit) and add my own sauces. Soy sauce, fish sauce, hoisin, oyster sauce, miso etc. They are just sitting there ready to be used to make it delicious

Chop up a spring onion and chuck that in with some toasted sesame seeds.

For a bit more effort I'll chuck in some frozen stir fry veg when I'm cooking it. Sometimes I do an egg too

….butter??? In ramen???
