My dad used to be very strict with the food budget. He accounted for every single cent my mum spent in her marketing. This probably drove my mum to become very creative in the kitchen. So as not to waste anything, she learned and perfected the art of recycling food. When I say 'recycling', what I really mean is this. Leftovers are transformed into an entirely different dish. My mum had a way of changing its appearance...maybe through the addition of another type of sauce or perhaps different vegetables. We'd quickly recognize bits of the 'old' food in the new one though.
I must admit I am not as creative but last night, I proudly used some meat leftovers from the other night's dinner to come up with this dish.
Nothing fancy, really. Just some broccoli, sliced mushrooms and the leftover beef. I stirfried these with minced garlic, put in the sauce from the beef leftover and sprinkled some sesame oil. That's it.I must admit I am not as creative but last night, I proudly used some meat leftovers from the other night's dinner to come up with this dish.
We had some fried flounders and steamed rice with it.
And yes, some watermelons to finish off....
Not bad...
