What are some creative ways of cooking/preparing instant ramen that give it a special touch? Any garnishes or secret spices you add that elevate the whole ramen experience?
Extra protein makes even the simplest ramen taste like a gourmet dish. I find Neoguri goes well with seafood, particularly clams, so I often make stir-fried noodles with littleneck clams I get from Costco. Neoguri is traditionally udon-type noodle with soup, but you can stir fry it after cooking the noodle.
Boiled eggs work well, too.
And for soba, I suggest always topping it off with finely chopped green onion.
I love Buldak - the Carbonara Buldak's so addictive, but most of the time it's way too spicy. My little trick to quell the spiciness is avocado. Add some ripe avocado, and I like it better than string cheese.
For hangover ramen, there's nothing better than ramen made with tomato juice. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it's really good. I usually add a can of this tomato juice and reduce the amount of water.
