Damn, that didn't take long at all. I don't even bother with Ramen anymore. All of those years in the dorms has removed all desire to consume ramen.

Your question made me think so I made a little google search and came up with a pretty nice website.

Here's what I have done and recommend.

Invest in a tub of chicken or beef soup base, some onions(best red) or chives, celery and/or carrots if you like them, and bell peppers.

Cut up the veggies and apply to brothy cooking ramens (onions are best in thin rings or half rings) and add extra soup base if there's too much water to make the flavor packet count.

i normally take every veggie in the fridge, dice it up and saute it... maybe grab some left over chicken or ham or something and dice it up and add it... then add water and cook the noodles for a few minutes and spice the hell out of it... little curry helps too :)

i usually get some rice wine vinegar and an egg handy while i wait for the noodles to cook in their 2 cups of water. Then i pour a little bit (not even a teaspoon) of rice wine vinegar in the boiling noodles, crack the egg into it and use a spatula to break the yoke's cell wall and stir the egg around so it cooks. add the flavor packet and serve.

nom

peppers,onions,green onions chili peppers etc..

Add some left over meat/egg and curry powder and you good to go homie

in a frying pan:
cook up some chicken in olive oil.
when it's done, chop it up into small bites, and then toss in some szechuan. let it cook in for a little bit
once the chickens good and taste, toss in on a plate and fill the frying pan (yeah) up with a bit of water, hard to say exactly how much you'll need (just as a quick note, keep the oil and extra sauce with the chicken)
cook up the oriental ramen in the frying pan, including packet of salt crap

once most of the water has boiled away and everything is noodley and awesome, add the chicken (and the left over sauce/oil) and some more szechuan sauce (if you want it spicy) and cook it up till it's a sticky spice mess of awesome...

optional shit that you can add includes ginger, peppers, and all the normal stir fry stuff

Well, I know there's the Creamy Chicken flavor of Ramen, but since I moved from NY to WV I can't find it anymore. Instead, what I do is add a big ol chunk of cream cheese, this is far superior to the Creamy Chicken packet anyway. I also use a little bit of hot sauce and Banana Pepper juice (I keep the juice in the jar after the banana peppers are ated) and of course you can add chicken and veggies etc etc. The key point here is that cream cheese + ramen = awesome creamy sauce.

Also, for the shrimp flavor ramen I tend to use no water in my noodles (some eat ramen like soup but I never liked much water in my noodles). Instead I put a big hunk of margarine (or butter) and put my seasoning on it before I drop the noodles in to melt it, creating: Shrimp Scampi Ramen! For a cheap way to uncheapen the shrimp Ramen even more (just go with it) get a can of those tiny shrimp to add to it (I also use these for shrimp/fettucine alfredo). YUM-O!

I wanted to add another thing that I like to do which kind of contradicts my previous post about not liking soupy ramen - However this is moreso a Ramen-y soup =).

Anyway, if you're familiar with/good at making egg-drop soup then it's a fairly cheap way to mix things up. I just make the egg-drop as per my usual way and then add the already cooked noodles to it.

hard boild eggs, whatever meats (yes, plural) sound good, veg (depending on what's available).

sometimes I add lime juice and or hot sauce.

sometimes mint (just like the lime juice, the noodles suck up this flavor)
lemon juice.

mix as desired. decorate asthetically. always use chopsticks.
