Add any toppings you like. I added sweet red bell peppers, green onions, baby bok choy and this smoked tofu. I roasted both my bell peppers and bok choy so it added a smoky flavor to the soup, but you don't have to do this.

Add Some Peanut Butter

For this method it's also really good to add some chili paste or chili sauce for a little kick, some lime juice to balance the acidity, honey for a touch of sweetness, and some soy sauce to add umami and saltiness. This makes for a sort of Thai-style ramen noodles with peanut flavors.

To top off your ramen, add a garnish or two. I use different garnishes like scallions, fried garlic, dry roasted or fresh seaweed, and sesame oil or seeds. Seaweed and scallions add both crunch and flavors. Fried garlic and sesame oil or seeds also bring big flavors and crunchy elements.
