This is a cheap way to get your cooking on. By adding one or a couple of things to your noodles you become an elite chef in the Ramen Noodle world.
Spices
You can venture into this world of ramen noodle meals by just trying different spices each time you make a package. Add curry, red pepper, or citrus juice for a little more flavor right before you start to eat.
Vegetables
If you want to take it up a notch, cook some vegetables. Spinach and green leaves are a fast vegetable to add right before you eat. By adding broccoli, carrots, or any other vegetable, you can make a gourmet meal.
If you really want a challenge, try adding both vegetables and spices. Once again, if you don’t like it then you can try again a different time.
