I normally start with hot sauce, butter, and mustard in mine.
Hot sauce and a soft boiled egg
Jammy soy eggs
Extra dehydrated veggies
Dollop of gochujong or some other hot sauce
Sprinkling if sesame seeds or crunches up nori
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.
See, people think that me using butter is weird, but peanut butter sounds atrocious to me and multiple people have suggested it.
You should try it! Personally, I don’t find butter weird (I think it’s just people don’t think of it as an ‘Asian’ ingredient) but I was shocked by the mayo. But a couple of folks mentioned it, so I’m going to try!
And thanks for this post BTW, I’m a bachelor again for a week while my partner is away, so I’ll defintely be cracking out the ramen. And now I can pretend I’m experimenting, rather than just being lazy!
Peanut butter + sriracha + a bit of lime juice for “pad thai” works well.
….butter??? In ramen???
Putting boiling water in it for once instead of eating it dry :3
Step 1: Put water in the kettle
Step 2: Click the little button
Step 3: Open your noodles, and put them in the bowl, along with the spices, vegetables and oil
Step 4: Once the kettle turns off pour the water onto the noodles till it covers about half
Step 5: Put a plate over the bowl and wait about 4 minutes
You probably don’t have raw sewage coming out of your pipes ala Michigan. Fancy!
