I’ll start: pesto as a bagel topping.

    When you’ve been terribly poor, you get creative.

    I once got tired of packet ramen and put some free milk I pilfered from a hotel into the broth to make it more like a creamy sauce. Black pepper and peanut butter can also do wonders. It’s not 5 star dining, but it was better than you’d think. Especially after the 8th day in a row eating Raman and stolen fruit.

    Ive done it again on the rare occasion, even now that I don’t have to. My partner goes green when she sees it.

      There’s nothing weird about those. Ramen may not lend itself to creamy sauces as Italian noodle dishes, but it’s not like it would change the flavor immensely. As for peanut butter and pepper, spicy peanut sauces (e.g. satay) are pretty common in Asian cuisine. You’re doing nothing unusual, just improving instant ramen.
