Go to the store and buy some ramen, you can't really do much with cup of noodles.

My sister likes to drench her ramen in soy and/or shrimps, disgusting

I just use 2 bags of flavour powder instead of 1 if i want it to be a bit more tasty.

Just like how a noob who physically cannot focus on more than one thing cannot beat JD in a BO5 no matter how hard he trains, if you want Gosu Noodles, you gotta start with the right base.

but

plus that shit is nasty, I've been forced to eat that stuff in my college life and it just feels so... ARTIFICIAL. plastic. greasy. etc.

Now I have to go and pick up some noodles TT

And yeah, add some nice chili sauce and/or meat chunks and/or some vegetable as has been said. Adding an egg is also pretty good.

Don't listen to the people who say you bought the wrong kind and you can't do anything with it.
They are ignorant youngsters who don't know anything about making a good tasting meal

Just add fresh herbs like coriander, basil etc. or try adding lemongrass and galangal or ginger.
You can even add some coconut milk and finely sliced spring onion. Or some shrimp paste (trassi). Or what about hot chili powder and thyme.

The options to enhanced noodles without much trouble are virtually endless.
It's all about your taste so start experimenting!

egg is always the best way to spruce up any ramen, no matter the quality. Personally I just add whatever meat I have in my fridge that is about to expire, chopped up and boiled with the broth = great.

You can pick up Gosu Cup Noodles at your local Korean market. There are plenty of choices ranging from ramen, udon, 칼국수, 잔치국수 (I don't know what these are in English), and other Gosu Cup Noodles!

Thanks for all the comments guys, there is some good advice in here.

HOWEVER: I am dealing with a cup noodle, not ramen in a bag. If you have ever eaten one of these, you will know that there is a VERY little amount of space on top of it to add stuff. Therefore, you can only add minor things to it (like spices or pastes). The alternative is to cook the noodles first and then pour it into a bowl and then add all the extra stuff, but I'm pretty lazy and just want to do some quick modifications to get this thing to become more tasty.

Thanks for this advice! This is the type I'm looking for. I do have some bottles of mixed spices and some garlic powder and such. I'll try adding those next time and seeing the effect. The shrimp paste sounds like a good idea as well.
