I was flipping through a food magazine today and a random bit of advice caught my eye - it mentioned that if you tend to let leftovers rot in the fridge instead of eating them up, you should think of them as an ingredient instead of what you actually made, like taking leftover sweet and sour chicken and adding scallions, bean sprouts, rice, and peanuts. It takes it into a whole new dish.
That may sound obvious, and it is, but it's something I never think about. We tend to have a lot of leftovers; I do eat them, but if it's something we get sick of quickly it's probably going to just sit in the fridge. I'd like to learn to be more creative.
What are some ways you've used up leftovers?
