What can I add or do to make ramen noodles tasty on a budget? (lemmy.world)

I get frozen broccoli and microwave it and mix it with the ramen. Sometimes I’ll drop an egg. Any tips? Thank you!

Look up real ramen recipes and think about what each ingredient adds. Use other frozen veggies - a bag of stir fry mix can't be that different from a bag of broccoli price wise. Eggs definitely. Sausage (or bacon, or Taylor ham, or Spam) can be a good flavor bomb. Frozen seafood mix adds protein, flavor, and changes the dish.

Also consider seasonings - any of the following help. Paprika, turmeric, garlic, onion, dill, bay leaf. Look at international noodle soups, adapt the flavors.

Oh, and you can also replace the packet seasoning with a low salt bouillion cube. Still a good flavor, but so much healthier. Mushrooms help too!
