I was trying to think of cheap ways to add protein to ramen noodles....the packages I have contain 10 grams of protein for the whole package. If you add 2tbs of peanut butter, you up that total protein to 17 grams. Add a spoonful of sriracha and it counteracts the taste of the peanut butter. Not bad, actually. Might want to use a type of peanut butter with less added sugar than the JIF that I used though.
Another thought would be to cook the noodles just slightly, refrigerate them, then stir fry them in hot oil with a scrambled egg...while stir-frying, add the seasoning packet and a little soysauce. That would up the protein to about 16-17 grams or so as well.

Boil or bake off and portion out frozen bags of shredded chicken or pork. Add the individual bags to the ramen when you boil it.

Floating an egg on boiling noodles is fairly common.. at least it was at the noodle shops I went to in Korea. They may also add a slice of cheese as a 'western' garnish on request.

There is also nothing wrong with adding some diced up meat to add some protein.

You don't have to /fap if you can choke the chicken.

You don't have to choke the chicken if you can snap the carrot.

This recipe is amazing even without the veggies/palm hearts (also I use grilled chicken, not canned):

1 (3-ounce) package chicken flavor ramen soup mix
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup sliced hearts of palm
1-1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 can cooked chunk chicken, drained
1/4 cup frozen baby sweet peas or mixed vegetables (you may also used canned)
Parmesan cheese
Chopped parsley for garnish

Preparation:

Cook the ramen noodles separately according to package directions, reserving the flavoring packet for use below. Drain and keep warm. If you use frozen peas or vegetables, you can cook them in with the noodles.

While cooking the noodles, saute the onion and hearts of palm in a large frying pan until onion is soft. Add drained chicken chunks and heat until warmed through, taking care not to shred the chicken chunks. Stir in the contents of the ramen soup flavoring packet, and combine until mixed. Add the cooked, drained ramen noodles and peas. Toss until coated. Turn onto plates and top with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley.

Yield: 2 servings

Note: Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. Feel free to substitute different flavors of ramen soup mix and corresponding seafood (tuna and shrimp are good) or cooked meat.
