Some leftover jasmine and short grain rice. Some leftover stirfry plus some additional kimchi with juice juice and gochujang = Kimchi-bokkeumbap
 
I really should have done a natural lighting shot but i was starving. This is WAY more red than it looks in the pic.

Fried rice is always leftover rice :D looks good
 
The recipe is almost exactly like Maangchi's recipe. I sub in about 2-3 tbs of LKK Premium oyster sauce and soy sauce mixed 50/50 but no water. I fry the leftover rice by itself for a couple minutes and move it to the sides of the pan. Then i fry the other ingredients in the center for a couple minutes. Mix it all together and add the gochujang/juice/soy/oyster sauce mix. Fry for a few more minutes and serve.
 
This is such a simple recipe, and it works great with pulled pork, chicken parm, ground beef (burgers), etc.

Today I used leftover Cajun smoked turkey from Thanksgiving. It's SLIDER time!

Preheat oven to 350* and get your rolls and stuff ready

I would have eaten the soft bones.
 
If I was younger.
 
Small kid time we ate it all.
 
Lessen the actual bone.
 
Chewed that sometimes too.
 
Because.
 
Dogs get it.
 
And so do a billion predators from lions to bears to coyotes and every dang predator that has walked the earth.
 
I still have all my original teefer's 'cept my wisdoms.
 
For how long I don't know.
 
But then...
 
Do we ever know.
 
 
 
 
 
 
That clam chowder mixed with shrimp quiche leftover :sick:
 
Oknomiyaki!
So yesterday we let our otaku insticts go...
We tried to make that stuff, it's like an omelette with eggs, flour, water, milk and cabbage. Now we stayed very heavy on cabbage and it was too roughly cut. Also, we picked the red one to be fancier.
My friend that has been in Japan said that those somewhat resembled the original. For a semi improvised first time we couldn't complain.
 
Se there was some leftovers that i brought home:

Topped with bacon, how that could be wrong?
Now i woulnd't call the sauce xxxhot, but it was fair for a commercial one. Also quite sweet.
St Bernardus wasn't the best match for that, but life is always better after a St. Bernardus.
 
I microwaved those then topped with stuff:

More bacon, mango habanero sauce, rochefort and feta cheese.
Rochefort is excellent but expensive with mighty strong taste.
 
Some more:

Just feta and sauce. Salty taste of feta was very good with sweetness of sauce.
 
 
Essi....
 
That is a lot of shit goin' on in those pics.
 
If you were applying for a chef's position at my restaurant....
 
I'd have you do a pre employment drug screen.
 
I'm betting it will come back positive.
 
 
You're hired!
 
Ok, ok, ima bit cheating since leftover chili... Usually is better than chili itself... Also that one has been my best chili so far and held great the day afer. But, stil...
