...is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you’re lazy and impatient and trying to make it happen with a bowl of Nong-Shim Shin Ramyun instant noodles within the span of a two-minute commercial break while watching Lost. Water from a heated water dispenser is typically not all that hot, and you can’t boil it quick enough to make it back to your bedroom before Juliet announces Sun’s pregnancy results! What to do?
 
I’d suggest dispensing some water from the hot water dispenser into a small saucepan. Then heat it even further on the stovetop for maybe a minute or so; it should be nominally roiling by then.
 
While waiting for this to happen, prepare your instant ramen for cooking. But before you bust out that egg, take care to add the seasoning/vegetable packet(s) first and SIFT THE STUFF TO THE BOTTOM of the bowl through the dried noodle cake to increase flavor saturation. Also, you don’t want the runny egg white suffocating all those delectable grains of MSG.
 
Once that is completed, you can drop the egg in and add your boiling water. Gingerly POUR IT DIRECTLY OVER THE EGG WHITE and witness the formation of that heavenly white cloud. So good.
 
On particularly hedonistic occasions, I like to leave the egg yolk intact at the bottom of the bowl, breaking it in my mouth after everything else has been ravished. But that’s a story for another day.

i always have problems getting the egg to ramen cooking ratio down. i definately want to try this sometime! thanks

I like the surprise camouflaged egg white attack, somewhere in the 1/2-3/4’s done part of an instant ramen session.  It gets me everytime!

For my eggs I always use the plastic bag or clingfilm method espescially if I have been on the beer, I can also drop a small spot of butter in with the eggs then. nice yummy runny eggs ready for the big bite *shudders with joy*

not sure if it would work with a work water heater, I accidentally soaked my hand with a load from our heater and instinctively went to bathe my hand in cold water, stopped smarting after 2 minutes, no swelling and no pinkness I reckon it was around 60-70C if it had been out of my kettle I would have been unable to grip a pen with that hand for a day,
