Bought an entire case of this because it's my favorite. But I need to experiment. What are some basic things to add to it to improve it? I've only tried an egg once but I think I overcooked it but I hear siracha is also good.

We're not bad because youre poor. We're mad that you didnt try before asking for help.
Not to mention that this is a question repeatedly asked and can be easily searched.

Go to your local East Asian grocery store and get hot pot ingredients, plus frozen wontons, shu mai (made with many varieties of protein now), vegetables.

You could fry these with rice to make a chow mien fried rice. Just crush up the noodles and cook with hot water. Then fry the cooked noodles with rice along with onions, bell peppers, carrots. Any vegetable you want really. Even add some meat if you want. Serve with fried gyoza.

I get those same chow mein noodles all the time and they're fantastic compared to most ramen, the flavor pouch is huge and filled with seasoning. I add cheap canned chicken:

Canned mixed vegetables:

And a handful of almonds for crunch

That's a good filling meal for about $3. I break apart the noodles and mix them with everything else in the bowl and pour my boiled water on top so it all cooks together. If you have a little extra money and want to go further with flavor, you can add sushi ginger to the top:

Or try any of these sauces here, peanut and sweet chili taste marvelous mixed together, and bibigo/bulgogi is very tasty kinda like teriyaki.

That's interesting, I've never thought about using canned chicken. So do you still cook it all in a pot together? I mean I usually pan fry these anyway but you break the noodles into chunks, add the canned chicken and vegetables, and then pour the water on? When do you add the seasoning for yours? How long would you boil everything together?

>So do you still cook it all in a pot together?
Nope, I use one of these electric hot pots to heat up my water but all the cooking happens in the serving bowl itself. I mix all the dry broken noodles, seasoning, chicken, veggies, almonds in a bowl while the water boiler heats up, and once it's boiling I unplug and pour the water over everything in the bowl until it's almost to the top of the noodles. I mix it all together with a fork and wait about 5-6 minutes while it cooks. Those chow mein noodles absorb a lot of water compared to most ramen so add more if the water level in the bowl gets too low before the noodles get nice and soft. If I have sauces I'll add them after the first mixing with boiling water, and if I have ginger I'll add it to the top at the very end just before eating.
