Last night's dinner was leftover rice, a specialty around here. I make it a little differently every time. Last night was an Asian themed rice.
- saute onions and fresh ginger in a mix of olive oil and sesame oil.
- add diced, leftover chicken
- add leftover corn and frozen peas. (Wish I had some fresh scallions.)
- add leftover rice
- Add a chopped up, scrambled egg
- add some soy sauce. I diluted it with some cooking sherry, but chicken broth would have been good, too.
Ta-da. I'm in a rush getting ready for an over-night guest. She won't get leftovers though. I'm making tortellini in a cream sauce and Spanish cannelini beans and spinach.
Question of the Day: What's your best leftover meal?

The rice is too damn high.

That’ll be legal soon in California.

I guess we know what “scallions” is code for.

Don’t use all the rice! My wife fixed her cell phone, after dropping it in water, by leaving it in a bag of rice for a couple of days. Works fine now. So save some around the house.
Oh, leftover meals? Anything with eggs. Just toss it into a frittata; it’ll stick together.

Cold roast chicken, sprinkled with salt and worcestershire sauce, eaten out of hand. Mmmm. Best leftovers ever.
I also like to make roast beef or lamb hash, and fish cakes, and various quick-and-dirty tacos or burritos based on heating up chopped leftovers with salsa and chopped onion, and folding them up in a tortilla.
But we eat a lot of meals that are just the same dinner cold, plus some apple slices and carrot sticks for people who don’t like leftover broccoli.
