      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.

        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.

            Absolutely! That’s gonna be my lunch today!

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