1st generation leftovers.
Leftover ribs fried rice- cooked and cooled rice, diced pork, frozen vegetables thawed, basil, sambal badjek, pineapple chunks, fish sauce, 2 eggs beaten, soy sauce, other ingredients to taste. Fry.
2nd generation leftovers.
Nasi Goreng a la Bule - put fried rice in bowl, add a splash of water, crack eggs on top of rice, cover, microwave using the reheat 5 setting in my microwave plus one minute on 100% for a beautifully runny yolk. Top with fish sauce and hot sauce of choice, shown with Pick-a-Peppa because “someone” used the last of the sambal in the fried rice.
The other four are, in no particular order: Blueberry pancakes
Biscuits and gravy
Speigel Ei mit Speck
Croissant (including pain au chocolate, and almond croissant and … It’s not cheating if I make the rules)
This is how you leftovers. That sounds really good, though I hate that so many amazing leftover meals are just the happy culmination of a ton of other leftovers and it’ll almost never happen again.
Ours is an American breakfast rice:
Leftover rice fried in a brown sugar Asian sauce (l. soy, d. soy, oyster, b.sugar, & rice vinegar), fluffy wok-style eggs, bacon, grilled onion strips and tomatoes, leftover (or frozen) battered chicken tenders all finished with a light drizzle of sesame oil and topped with fresh green onion slices.
Then we take what’s left of that (and/or make some more of eggs, chicken, bacon, whatever) and turn it into breakfast burritos!
