Recommendations for Stepping up my ramen game?

Currently just use the noodles from the cheap Maruchan packs and include frozen vegetables and some source of protein, with some powder broths I bought once upon a time. Been doing that because it's quick and easy but I'm looking to shake things up; any recommendations?

When i was in Korea we had little old ladies follow the army camps with a ramen tent. They would put a fried egg with soft yolk and a slice of cheese on top of the ramen. That and some fresh green onions made for some amazing noodles.

Add pulled pork, or chop up whatever other leftover proteins you have in the Fridge. Chopped scallions. Leafy greens of your choice. Bok Choy; crunchy and Leafy and delicious.

Brands I like: Sapporro, Nissen, Indomie.

Di you have any Asian markets nearby? They will have a variety of choices you may never have dreamed of.

Drop an egg in there before you cook it. You will probably need to cook it extra.

Lunch meat

Add a little milk.

Fresh peppers, or dried flakes.

Cheese slice

Mayo

Veggies.

My family bought me some spice concoction called hopelessness ramentic.

Mix and match as you see fit.

I usually use an egg boiler and cook the egg separate (when I use eggs). Is there a difference?

Wait, milk, or mayo? In ramen? I've used peanut butter before but milk and mayo seems like an odd choice...

Recently got a dried sofrito seasoning mix from trader Joe's, been using that a lot, I should probably try it with ramen tho

I got the milk idea from an anime.

Mayo is egg, oil, salt. It adds a nice creaminess and can bring the spice level down a little.
