Christmas LeftOvers

Christmas Fried Rice

Saturday 28th December 2019

Picture it, two days after Christmas, you have all of these leftovers that you've eaten for two days and are now bored of. Instead of throwing them out or just waiting for them to go bad in the fridge.  I suggest you use these still good ingredients and make a new dish with them that you can eat for another two days.

Christmas leftovers Fried Rice. Yep, you read that right, leftovers fried rice. All the ingredients I used were leftovers from Christmas day, except the rice, I did have to cook that fresh, but I always have rice in the pantry. You can either cook your own rice or use the packet stuff. Leftover rice would also be perfect. Other ingredients I used were, leftover cooked chicken, that I just shredded, some ham that I cut up smaller, pea and corn salad, I did also add some more frozen mixed veg, so there were more vegetables in it and some Soy Sauce I had in the fridge. Not to forget some eggs scrambled. You can also add any other leftover meat-like, cabana, mettwurst, twiggy sticks even turkey.

Ingredients:

4 Eggs

Half a Cup of uncooked rice or a cup of cooked rice

Leftover chicken

Leftover ham

Enough leftover meat to make up two cups

Cup of mixed vegetables

Tablespoon of Soy sauce, I had garlic and honey flavoured

Steps:

1. Cook your rice if you need. Or just gather all of your ingredients together.

2. Heat a little oil in a wok or frying pan, add in your eggs and cook scrambling them as you do, add a bit of salt and pepper to taste.

3. After cooking remove eggs and add all of your meat, vegetables and heat up, add your rice and stir.

4. Add the soy sauce to your liking stir through then add the rice, stir again to combine. 

Serve and enjoy. 

You can modify this recipe to suit the ingredients you have. You can even make it completely vegetarian, or add some seafood, many people like prawns on Christmas day. You could add potato salad that would be different, I suggest frying the potatoes for a bit first before adding the other ingredients. 

I hope this post gave you inspiration for what to do with your Christmas Day leftovers, Erik and I enjoyed our fried rice and we hope you will too!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!!
