Leftover Steak & Peas Fried Rice

I had a leftover piece of steak which was actually my piece but didn’t eat coz I wasn’t hungry when dinner time came. My husband let me have a bowl of ice cream with him though after he ate his dinner that night, hehe. I decided to cut up the steak in small pieces 2 days after to make fried rice. I also had leftover peas from the night we had stuffed meatloaf so all I needed was cooked rice, an egg, garlic, onions and the seasonings.

Leftover Recipe: Ham & Potato Soup

The ham leftover was from the Christmas menu. The bone still had a lot meat on it and a few ham slices so I decided to throw them in a crock pot with potatoes and spices to make a hearty soup. Easy, time convenient and of course, delish soup for dinner on a cold night.

Here’s a salmon tomatoes and scallions frittata from the leftover pan-fried salmon.

How-To Make Easy Siopao

siopao-1

Finding an easy way to make Siopao was an accidental feat while perusing The Pioneer Woman’s Tasty Kitchen portal a few months ago. I was just surfing around the site really. Until I saw one of the recent headlines which said “Siopao W/ Sassy Sauce” from blogger Skwishface. In the beginning of the recipe there was a note about excessive step-by-step photos so I went to the original post to see the pictures coz I love recipes with a lot of pictures :) . So from there on I learned how to make siopao so easily that I could make it with my left eye closed. Well maybe not but you’ll see what I mean when you read this whole thing.

Organic Salad With Leftover Flank Steak & Red Wine Vinegar Vinaigrette

leftover-flank-steak-organic-salad

Hubs found this huge container of organic salad at the commissary the other day which he and I have been eating for lunch and sometimes for snacks. Most people would say salad is boring but Hubs and I are one of the few who actually love fresh salads. Plus it’s healthy. The fact that we also like meat, well, there’s a balance somewhere in our world :) .

Anyhooo, this organic salad includes : baby lettuces (romaine, oak leaf, red leaf, lollo rosa, tango), red & green chard, mizuna, arugula, mache, frisee, radicchio, parsley, dill, and cilantro. I know it sounds a lot. I told you it was a huge container for about $4.

For my first bowl I dressed the salad with store bought ranch peppercorn dressing. But after that I’ve been making my own vinaigrettes to eat them with.

Leftover Recipe : Turkey & Shrimp Fried Rice

turkey-shrimp-fried-rice

Here’s a simple turkey leftover recipe that’s turned into an Asian meal. With the abundance of turkey leftover because my family of 4 couldn’t have possibly eaten a 20-pound turkey on Thanksgiving Day, I have to be creative in coming up with leftover dishes in order not to bore us all in the coming days.

One thing I’ve came up with is this Turkey and Shrimp fried rice. The shrimps were leftovers from the appetizer plate of shrimp cocktail. Turkey and Shrimp combo? Sure why not?

Corned Beef Hash Frittata

corned-beef-hash-frittata-8

One of the favorites from our traditional weekend breakfast is this corned beef hash frittata. I don’t always make just eggs, bacon and ‘taters or pancakes. I like to turn leftover meats from the night before into breakfast the next day. Making a frittata out of them is one of the ways I come up with.

In this case though, I didn’t use leftover meat. I specifically bought a can of Hormel Corned Beef hash for this particular breakfast item. But you sure can use any leftover meat or fish (salmon is delish) that you have in the fridge.

Beef, Tofu, and Veggie Stir-Fry

beef-tofu-veg-stirfry-feistycook-001

When I bought the organic tofu I intended to use it for Hot & Sour soup. But while putting the groceries away on that day, I discovered that my pantry was lacking of a bottle of rice vinegar. That happens to be the ingredient that makes the soup. So I said, oh well. I’ll go back to the store sometime and buy a bottle.

Except of course that “sometime” never happened when we had leftover grilled steaks one night. I planned on using the steaks for stir-fry and I figured I’d do a variation of my usual stir-fry recipes by adding cubed tofu. It was a variation that worked perfectly.
