After a few days of eating in and around the hospital (see most recently 3.094 Chamchi Hoe), I was granted reprieve to go home and relax.

With the leftover ingredients that the nanny had used to make sujebi, and a tub of takeout jjajang sauce, I took a shot at my own jjajang myeon. The improvised kal guksu noodles weren’t as chewy/resilient as I would’ve liked, but otherwise everything else was pretty good; in fact, the shredded chicken breast was a nice addition – lean yet filling.  If the sauce freezes well, I may keep some on hand.  And I’ll have to experiment with other types of quick-fix noodles.
