I mean the one you do when you want something easy to do, but not when you’re tired at the point you microwave a frozen-meal, or just cut down a piece of cheese and put it in a bread

    I have an electric kettle, so instant ramen. I live near an asian grocery store, so I also have a ton of ramen varieties

        Yep, poaching an egg (or a couple) in the ramen as it’s about to finish cooking is one of the ways I add eggs to instant ramen. Another is a technique similar to egg drop soup: stream pre-beaten eggs while stirring the ramen (also just about the ramen is done cooking).

        But I default to adding soft-boiled eggs. I cook the thoroughly washed eggs in the same water I’d cook the ramen on. I take the eggs off (put them into cold water if necessary, or I can just take them a bit early and let the residual heat take it the rest of the way), then cook the noodles. While waiting for the noodles to cook, I peel the eggs and then put them back into the noodles just before serving.

        That’s a good one! One of my favorites is to order some hot and sour soup, and place cooked noodles in the cup

          Absolutely, it’s amazing how far you can stretch a good soup base. Hot and sour soup has a lot of flavor.

        I’m too lazy for this. This means waiting for a pot of water to boil. I just pan fry one, shred it with the chopsticks, and call it a day.
