Instant ramen. Or if I’m feeling fancy, ramen that takes 6 whole minutes to cook

Chinese snail noodles are a little more work but usually worth it.

If I’m feeling rich an instant hot pot is nice

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.

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

What’s the timing on that?

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

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
