I get tired of eating the same thing for more than a couple nights, so it's easy to let leftovers go bad. However, my thrifty side has been coming out lately, and figuring out how to turn leftovers into a new and interesting meal or snack can actually be kind of fun. My latest trick is using leftover rice from takeout to make fried rice. It's a little salty, a little spicy and uses toasted sesame oil for extra flavor. This isn't really a true "recipe," since the amounts of each ingredient will depend on how much rice you use and your personal preferences. If you want to add some veggies, fry them first before adding the rice.
What are your favorite ways to reinvent leftovers?
Leftover Fried Rice
Ingredients:
cooked rice, completely cooled
toasted sesame oil (unrefined)
Bragg's liquid aminos
sriracha hot sauce or sambal oelek (hot chili paste)
Directions:
Heat some toasted sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the cold rice, breaking it up and tossing it to evenly distribute the oil. Continue to toss and stir the rice for a few minutes until rice is hot and sizzling. Add Bragg's liquid aminos and a small amount of sriracha (a little goes a long way!). Toss and stir the rice until the Bragg's and sriracha are evenly incorporated. Serve immediately.
