I found some leftovers in my mom's fridge once and threw some of it into my instant ramen to help her finish it. The bell peppers were probably the best part, it's crazy how well it pairs. Whenever I remember I'll put two whole green bell peppers into the pot for every pack of ramen.

[Anonymous No.20213332]

sliced bell pepper, some onions and chilly peppers :D but you gotta fry em first in a pan so its not too raw :]

[Anonymous No.20213546]

Behold, the broke-ass gourmand's choice, the Cheesy Ramen Cube:
You'll need a bag of ramen (chicken works best IMO), 1 egg, 1 slice of cheese, 1 slice of bacon.

Take the noodles and the packet out of the package. Get a glass with a half teaspoon of water and a add a bit of the seasoning packet, then scramble one large egg in there.
Bring a small-to-medium pot of water to a fast boil, and lower the noodle block into the water, then drizzle the egg over the top. The upward pressure of the boiling water should keep it from running out the bottom. if any droops out, scoop it up and over the top, it should seal up just fine.
When that starts to firm up (in about 30 seconds) flip the noodle block over and pour the rest of the egg into the other side. Continue cooking it until the noodles are almost soft enough to eat, then gently lift it out of the pot on a slotted spatula and drain it. Avoid using a spatula made of silicon or anything else slippery or "non-stick", 'cause you run the risk of it slipping off and falling at this point! A metal or wood spatula is a better choice.

Place the noodle-egg cube on a plate, sprinkle the seasoning over the top, and add a little water/smoosh it in with your spatula if it doesn't melt in.
Now place a slice of cheese on top, grab a slice of bacon, and cut or tear it into bits, and add it to the cheese. (You may have to wet the cheese so the bacon sticks, don't worry about it, the next step will fix that)
Last step is to chuck the plate in a toaster oven on broil for about three to five minutes, so the cheese gets good and melty, then let it cool and pull your cheesy-noodle-bacon slab out and eat that shit with a fork, like a pie.

Frozen peas and carrots.
Green onion.
A tiny bit of powdered white pepper.
Rotisserie chicken if I have any.
Get the roast chicken or roast beef flavor from Maruchan if you want something that actually tastes good and isn't a total ripoff designed to fleece weebs, but it can be a little hard to find so you'll probably have to shop around for it.

Those cans of chicken work pretty well if you're lazy and dont get raw chicken. Quarter of a can of chicken per pack and one egg can go far. I suggest saucing the chicken and frying it for a bit getting a nice crust, its already cooked though so don't overdo it. I ended up getting into the big stash ot canned chicken i bought for in case STHF

Soy sauce is unfortunately a different (and not as good) flavor then Oriental so there's not really a good way to scratch that Oriental Flavor itch anymore. On the bright side, soy sauce is actually pretty good and doesn't taste like I originally expected it to (like salt-flavored salt). The salt flavor isn't nearly as overpowering as in the pork flavored ramen, and while it's still a bit heavy-handed, like in all instant ramen, it's more expected and fitting in something that calls itself soy sauce flavor than for other flavors.
