Throw out the spice packet.

Cook them and when there is 30 seconds left stir in:

    1 beaten egg
    A couple of shakes of tobasco
    A chopped green onion or scallion

It tastes way better than the packets and doesn't pack nearly as much sodium.

Yeah, but the whole point of ramen is that you don't really have to cook.
