Sometimes protein hacks work better this way, though, where you just add protein in. It works better than swapping the noodles for some ultra whole grain bean vegan konjac wheat gluten noodle monstrosity that doesn't scale well in a factory and costs you $5/pack.
For another example, adding your own protein powder and oat fiber to a regular buttermilk pancake mix will get you good macros and better taste than something like Kodiak which uses whole grain wheat and can become more bitter quickly due to oxidation.
Some people do those protein++ bone broths and add it into their ramen, and that can work too, but too much work lol

Does bioavailability of protein matter?
Yes, protein bioavailability matters because it indicates the proportion of protein from a food source that the body can actually absorb and utilize for building and repairing tissues, synthesizing hormones, and supporting other essential functions. Different protein sources have varying bioavailability, with animal proteins generally being more bioavailable than plant proteins due to the presence of anti-nutrients in plants that can interfere with digestion.

Yes, plant-based proteins can contain anti-nutrients, which are compounds like phytates, lectins, and tannins found in foods such as grains, legumes, nuts, and some vegetables. These substances can reduce the body's ability to absorb nutrients from the food, potentially leading to mineral deficiencies if a diet relies heavily on raw or improperly processed plant foods.

What is the protein source they use in this product? Look at the label to see: 1) hydrolyzed soy protein (plant), 2) soy protein isolate, 3) hydrolyzed corn protein. You are getting the cheapest and weakest form of protein possible, and companies can slap that label for protein because consumers don't look any further and don't know about how different forms of protein vary in their effectiveness for the more likely purpose of muscle-building.
.
You are more likely better off to just buy any ol' regular noodles or ramen, and crack and egg in there while it's cooking to get the best protein possible, as these weaker proteins have the potential to be anti-nutrients. Spread the word and stop being duped by marketing.
