PRO TIP: Make scrambled eggs in a coffee cup. Great trick for a meal at work!

Crack the egg in a coffee cup, add a dash of water and vinegar, whip up with a fork, cover with a paper towel, nuke it for X seconds. 90 seconds seemed about right last time I did this, YMMV.

No idea why the vinegar and paper towel are needed, but it don't cook right without those elements. 🤷🏻 I sometimes use Tabasco for the vinegar addition.

I read here that it firms up the egg whites, but not in the presence of the yolk, so I'm not certain what the point of the vinegar is either. The water could just be for helping the egg cook and not become too rubbery.
