How to go from instant ramen to gourmet meal?

Question

I'm looking for some common (or not so common) ingredients that you add to your instant ramen to make it a little closer to a full-blown meal.

Answer

I use thin chopped bacon slices(uncooked) as a flavoring agent. Also drop 1-2 eggs in there and stir, this adds texture.

I normally stir-fry some chopped steak on the side and dump in the ramen afterwards. I don't use the seasoning pack that comes with the ramen. For flavoring, I use ponzu sauce, soy sauce and vinegar mixed with garlic powder.
