Yes, in Japan there are all kinds of recipes for ramen and they have their own resturants. Here's a ramen resturant in Canada:

Ramen for Lunch:This dish is more true to Japanese style ramen soup.
One or two packages of ramen
Assorted Bell Peppers, chopped
Green onions, diced
Carrots, diced
Celery, chopped
hard boiled eggs
soy sauce or black bean sauce (optional)
mayonaise (optional)
sliced cheese (prefferably white, optional)
food coloring (optional)
parsley
Bread
Seasoning to taste
Special --- a small paintbrush or cooking/candy brush.
1) Begin right away by cooking the ramen noodles. This time we need the broth, so use the season packets.
2) While the noodles are cooking, prepare the rest of what you'll need. Dice and chop the vegetables. Set them aside. It is better if you have already boiled the eggs, since doing so takes awhile--- to hard boil an egg, don't crack or open it. Fill up a sauce pan with water and submerge the eggs in their shells. Place them over heat and wait for anywhere up to thirty minutes, depending on how low you set the heat on. This part has been different for me different times so experiment until you get a hard boiled egg that's right for you...typically a hard boiled egg, in the end, is mushy and soft but is not a liquid. A hard boiled egg is a solid object.
3) Peel the shell from the hard boiled eggs if you haven't done so already. Slice each in half and set aside.
4) Take your noodles off the heat, do not drain them. Poor the ramen and the broth into the bowl you're going to eat out of.
5) Add all of the vegateables. Stir up well.
6) Add a little seasoning. Stir.
7) This step is optional. You may choose to do some fun artwork with your ramen bowl and add kawaii little faces to your eggs, as seen here on rice shapes, of course, a cute little bento box is perfect to pack your ramen in portably, if you don't want to use a bowl. And I know that these images do not follow the same format as what I'm telling you but they give you a good idea of what were going for in an adorble ramen bowl:

You can then add some ears to your eggs using the food coloring and sliced cheese cut into ear shapes.
8) Position the eggs in a manner you find attractive around the bowl.
9) Plop a spoonful of mayonaise onto the top if you wish.
10) Sprinkle on some parsley and the rest of your seasoning.
11) Toast some bread slices to go on the side.
12) Enjoy however you'd like...Rice is something that also goes great with this bowl, if you want to substitute toast for rice.
