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.
