1st generation leftovers.

Leftover ribs fried rice- cooked and cooled rice, diced pork, frozen vegetables thawed, basil, sambal badjek, pineapple chunks, fish sauce, 2 eggs beaten, soy sauce, other ingredients to taste. Fry.

2nd generation leftovers.

Nasi Goreng a la Bule - put fried rice in bowl, add a splash of water, crack eggs on top of rice, cover, microwave using the reheat 5 setting in my microwave plus one minute on 100% for a beautifully runny yolk. Top with fish sauce and hot sauce of choice, shown with Pick-a-Peppa because “someone” used the last of the sambal in the fried rice.

    Eggs are an amazing way to transform any leftover into a new dish, aren’t they?

    I also do this all the time, with different recipes:

    • frittata - leftovers, scrambled eggs, seasoning. Mix them together and transfer to a greased non-sticky pan, with a lid. Use the lowest fire setting that you can get. Wait until golden in the bottom, flip it. (Protip: works better if the mix is at room temperature, before adding it to the pan)
    • croquettes - leftovers, flour, eggs, salt, baking powder, [optional] Parmesan. Mix everything until you got a runny batter, then drop it on some oil for deep-frying. Drain them and sprinkle some salt+MSG. They’re a specially great way to reuse leftover rice.
    • potato pancakes - leftover boiled potatoes or potato mash, one egg, baking powder, just enough flour to get a thick batter. Drop them on a greased non-sticky pan, flip halfway. My family likes this enough that I often boil more potatoes than necessary, to get a few to prepare pancakes in the dinner.
