My aunt's instant ramen upgrade hack was a total game changer

She told me to drain most of the water, add a spoonful of peanut butter and a squirt of sriracha, then crack an egg in. Tried it last Tuesday with a 99 cent pack from Dollar Tree and it turned into a proper meal, easily feeds me for under $2. Anyone else got dollar store add-ins that make basics taste fancy?

Whoa, hold on, I gotta disagree with you there. Peanut butter in ramen just sounds wrong to me, like a dessert topping on a soup. I tried it once with a tiny bit and all I could taste was the peanut butter overpowering everything, it completely killed the broth. Plus, cracking a raw egg in there is a gamble, you gotta time it perfect or you get gross stringy egg whites floating around. I'd rather spend my two bucks on a can of mixed veggies and some soy sauce, that's a way better upgrade that actually tastes like ramen. To each their own, but you couldn't pay me to do that again.
