When Your Fridge Gives You Leftovers...

pancake

...make a savory pancake.

I had some chicken filling leftover from a catering event. Previously it had been a flavorful filling for Thai chicken cigars with ground chicken, cabbage, bean sprouts, Thai basil, fresh chilies, scallion, fish sauce, red curry paste, lime, and cilantro.

Then it sat in a bowl begging to be used. I turned it into a jun (Korean for savory pancake) by adding more scallions and tossing it in a simple batter of flour, water and egg. Add sambal and you got delicious.

Lol. I usually turn my leftovers into fried rice, the ultimate Chinese leftover medium. That's how I ended up with maple-smoked bacon and tatertot fried rice once. Was actually pretty good.

hi chubbypanda,

your maple-smoked bacon and tatertot fried rice actually sounds delicious. :D i think making it into a ome-rice/omelet with a huge tub of sriracha would make me very happy.

My leftovers usually end up in the trash a week and half later, after I find them hiding behind the milk!
