Instant Ramen

So. How do you prepare your instant (dried or frozen) ramen dishes?

I usually put maruchan ramen in a bowl, put the flavor pack and water in it. Put it in the microwave for about 3 minutes, take it out, and I sometimes add cheeses to it. Gets stuck to your spoon, but hey, it works. Tastes a bit better, too. I also throw random spices and shit into it to see if I notice anything better about it, which I normally don't.
