Absolutely Dead-Easy and Quick Lunch

Which I am eating right now... Yes, a little late for lunch (if you look at the posting time where I am -- can one do that?) but that is why I needed something quick to prepare. Because hungry. I tend to lose track of time when I'm concentrating on stuff.

So you have vegetables for fibre, egg for protein, noodles for carbohydrate and stock for tasty salty flavour. The vegetables need to be the kind that it is okay to eat raw; the water will heat them up, but depending on the vegetable, they may still be crispy. I like them that way, so it's all good.

I pre-cook the egg because the boiling water isn't quite enough to cook the egg. While egg cooked in the microwave is horrible, because the cooked egg is soaking in the stock, that makes it palatable. It's still wise to try not to over-cook the egg, though. Pre-cooking the egg also makes this recipe suitable for those who live in countries where the chickens are infected with salmonella (e.g. USA).
