    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.
