Justus' Last Meal


Yesterday night was one of our last nights cooking together. 3 of us, Justus, Pat, and me (Mike), have been staying at Pat's apartment. Since it was so late last night, we didn't have the choice to going somewhere for dinner.

We decided to have one last TCS assignment before Justus would leave the next morning. We made some kind of random soup, using mung bean noodles (glass noodles), we were originally planning on eating it with our egg omelette (mixed with fish sauce). Pat had the idea of turning the noodles into a soup. Using chicken bouillon, rock candy, sriracha, and gochujang (a Korean spicy pepper paste), we came up with a pretty awesome soup. We also threw in some shitake mushrooms for an extra nutritional boost.

I have to say, it was real good. Just the right combo of saltiness, sweetness, heat, and umame-ness. Everyone contributed with random ideas and it ended up being an excellent meal. Another great success for TCS, and a fitting sendoff for Justus.
