Instant Ramen (Leveled-up)

I don’t know anyone who hasn’t had instant ramen at least once in my life. For me personally, I have this at least twice a week (might not be the healthiest decisions in life). BUT, sometimes (even for me), instant ramen can get a little… boring? Basic? So. Let me show you how I level up my instant ramen game with the hack of a few of my favourite ingredients.
