Here are things I sometimes add to my instant ramen:
While cooking:
Frozen peas or frozen corn
Fresh seasonal veggies
Dried mushrooms (rinse them first)
Before serving:
Deli meat
Sliced fish cake. Our local Asian store sells fresh and frozen and they both last a long time unopened.
Chili crisp
Nori
I also make pork belly specifically for ramen. I rub it with salt and sugar, roast it, slice it into strips and freeze it in small packs so I have it handy. It cooks up pretty quickly in a frying pan. You can put it in while cooking the noodles if you don’t want to get a pan dirty but it’s not quite as tasty.
