I get frozen broccoli and microwave it and mix it with the ramen. Sometimes I’ll drop an egg. Any tips? Thank you!

        use broth instead of water
cook in a pot instead of with a water boiler
add baby bok choy
get better brands of instant noodles (according to your preference). Some brands are quite good already on their own

If it's instant Ramen please don't add broth.

why

Because there is already enough umami and salt in there for 2. Your taste buds are not in a trench war.
