Ways to add protein to food to food that otherwise doesn't have a lot

So, say you just made a helping of ramen noodles (because you're cheap). At the same time you're looking to add a bit of muscle (yes, you're lifting weights and your primary protein sources are chicken, peanut butter, and milk). You look at the nutrional facts on the ramen package and the protein content leaves something to be desired.

Same deal with green beans, too.

Is there stuff, or ways, that can be added to cheap (but decently healthy) foods that could use a boost in protein?

I add an egg or two into my ramen. Easy. Call it ramen-foo-yung maybe?

Whey or an egg in oatmeal too.

Pork is cheap and goes well cooked in green beans.

Add chicken breast, butter, and eggs to your ramen and you will have a solid bulking meal.

There's lots of stuff on bulking on a budget in this thread:

I find I can mix eggs and beans into things without filling myself up to quickly. I like to take a whey+milk shake with each meal too to keep the protein numbers up.
