Leftover Takeaway Noodles with Chicken & Veg Stirfry

[takayanagi]

Have you ever ordered a take away and didn't quite get what you want? A couple of weeks ago we ordered coconut rice (amongst other things) from our favourite Thai place and we got plain noodles instead. A bit of a bummer, but I didn't let the noodles go to waste. I made some chicken and veg stir fry and we had it with the noodles for our next the next day :)

I'm sure this has happened to lots of people and it got me thinking, what do you do when you get something you didn't ask for from the takeaway?

(I phoned the take away and got a free portion of coconut rice the next time we ordered)
