  • 1 ounce Enoki mushrooms or any mushroom you prefer
  • 1 tbsp chili oil
  • 1 tbsp of sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp of peanuts

There are ready-made Ramen meals that you can eat as is or improve with fresh veggies. The same is true for miso soups.

Low-cost and lightweight Ramen and Tofu Miso Soup. I used Miso paste, but you could easily use a dehydrated Miso soup mix as an alternative broth. The packaged Ramen noodles are lighter than the ones I usually pack.
