I often buy these for a quick lunch. Today's was spicey shrimp flavour to
which I added shrimp, green onions, mushrooms and carrots. My question -
the package suggested adding an egg, but nowhere did it say how to add the
egg; whole, beaten or otherwise. For next time, how should I add the egg?

Thanks,

Elaine

I have seen it done like this. While the soup is simmering gently, break an
egg into it and do not stir - sort of like you are poaching the egg. In
about 4-5 mins it will be ready if you like runny yolk.

OR, I would add the egg and stir, making it like an egg drop soup effect.

The traditional way is to carefully (without breaking) add it on top and
let the heat of the soup poach it.
