Here are a couple things I have done with ramen.
--------------------------
Recipe 1
cooked ramen noodles
pace salsa
tomato soup
shredded cheese on top
It is really good . I use mild salsa but you can probably use a more spicy salsa if you like it.
-------------------------
Recipe 2
cooked ramen noodles
frozen stir fry veggies
cooked meat (optional)
added sauce (optional) Sometimes I add teryaki or soy sauce
-----------------------

I like to add minced ginger root and a pinch of szechuan spice to the "Oriental" flavor.  It tastes much, much better.

    Cook your ramen noodles (do not use the little seasoning packet-throw it away). Use Alfredo white sauce instead of noodle pizza sauce. Alfredo white sauce is sold in jars at your local supermarket next to the noodle tomato sauces.
