I do a few variations but here's what I did tonight and really it works for pretty much any kind of instant noodle. For this one I used the king of instant noodles, Indomie Mi Goreng.
2 packs of noodles, one spicy and one regular
dump all the add-ins into a bowl
add a splash of rice wine vinegar, a splash of soy sauce, and chili crisp, and mix it all together
when the noodles are done boiling add a splash of the cooking water, drain the noodles, and mix them in the bowl with everything else
top with an egg fried to your preference (if I'm doing instant noodles that you add water and microwave I add an egg or two in the last 1:40 to poach)
Instant noodles are already good but a little bit of extra effort goes a long way. Just a few extra ingredients make them a lot better.

I like to dunk the noodles in some ice cold water once they're done cooking to make them al dente
