Yes you must try all the phases of ramen to become a true expert:

Bone dry: I recommend about 60% of a spice packet on this one unless you are feeling spicy!
Wet but strained: put the noodles in the water and strain them, then put the spice packet in and mix
soup: you probably do this already. But consider dropping an egg in and mixing it. Or add veggies/green onions/ leftover chicken.

I love to do that with a poached egg on top but I haven't done it in years.

It says put two cups of water for top ramen. I only add one cup and boil the noodles until there isn't much water left. Kinda like wet but strained but without the straining.
