Instead of egg, I usually have surimi (or imitation crab sticks). They’re not expensive at Asian markets (about $4-6 here in California for a couple dozen sticks) and can be stored in the freezer for a long time.
I actually just had some for breakfast. Nongshim + surimi cut into smaller pieces.
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.
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.
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.
Add an egg to that shit, like an egg drop soup, omg!

What’s the timing on that?

Even raw eggs are generally safe to eat.

Brick ramen:

Fantastic! I’m going to give this a try soon. Thanks!
Absolutely! That’s gonna be my lunch today!
Quick edit: so good with scallions, which I unfortunately do not have on hand.

I still wish we had scallions.
I might like that even more.
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.

Tinned tuna is also nice to add for some extra flavor and variety.
