To top off your ramen, add a garnish or two. I use different garnishes like scallions, fried garlic, dry roasted or fresh seaweed, and sesame oil or seeds. Seaweed and scallions add both crunch and flavors. Fried garlic and sesame oil or seeds also bring big flavors and crunchy elements.

Eggs are a great way to add flavor and protein to your package of ramen. Prepare the noodles with seasoning and as much liquid as you like. Then, decide how you want to prepare the egg. You can boil, poach, or simmer an egg directly in the ramen.
