      Totally replied to the wrong thought chain, I pour boiling water in my cup and drop the egg. Usually once it’s cool enough for me to handle, about 10mins-ish egg has cooked through

        Ah are you talking the cup of noodles in the styrofoam? I was thinking the square package that you put in a boiling pot for 3 mins. I’ve heard an egg is great in it, but never tried it.

          I break an egg directly into the pot of boiling water when there’s about 2.5 to 3 minutes left on the noodles’ recommended cooking time. This usually gets the whites solid and leaves the yolk runny in the middle.

          I’m not a food expert though. This might be unsafe. I’ve done it a lot though and haven’t gotten sick.

          4 minutes would probably cook the yolk all the way through if you want a solid yolk.

            Even raw eggs are generally safe to eat.

          I have done the cup and my own bowl with it. I make sure to have my noodles broke in half in my bowl before I pour my water in, then egg. With the cup it gets a little messier because of space but still doable.

      Brick ramen:

      Boil water

      Timer: three minutes

      Egg in a small dish, to add later. NO CRACK YOLK

      Timer: :50 left

      Egg in, do not stir, make sure water isn’t heavily boiling

      After :50, it’s perfect

      Season with bullion/better-than, chili sauce, hoisin, etc. so easy, cheap, delicious, caloric for sweet “I have no energy to make food” depression meal.

      Get a great big giant soup bowl (buy one before making, it feels better to eat from)

      Drain lots of water out before adding seasonings, you want concentrated flavour

          Update: I cracked my yolk when I made lunch. I didn’t crack my partner’s. Their soup wasn’t as creamy as mine, so maybe a little hole in the yolk isn’t so bad.

          I still wish we had scallions.

              Honestly it was probably better. If you pour the eg in at :30 it would do the same—I just don’t like fully cooked egg whites.

          Absolutely! That’s gonna be my lunch today!

          Quick edit: so good with scallions, which I unfortunately do not have on hand.
