What’s the timing on that?

    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.

    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.
