They are fun! Have some odd bits about to add to them (assuming you
meant store).  Any 3 of this set and small amounts like 2TB or so:

- fake crab/lobster
- couple of peeled shrimp
- bit of pulled pork
- bit of pulled cooked chicken
- sliver of kamaboko (fish paste, cooked, white and pink usually)
- couple of siices of hard boiled egg
- couple of slices of radish
- bits of green onion, minced bulb too 
- piece of bacon broken up
(soy sauce but you my want to flavor just a spoon to see if you like it
better without)
- a Banana pepper or poblano (mild chiles) or jalapeno if you like
hotter

Just pick 2-3 from the list.  Add to the cooked ramen bowl with the
soup packets.  I tried to keep it simple with things you likely have on
hand.

Enjoy!
