Found my sliced mushrooms is not going to be fresh next day. I decided to use it with my leftover chicken pea; recipe below and adding it to the packet bee hoon my father bought for me.

Google: “Diced chicken is versatile, quick to cook, and absorbs flavors well, making it an excellent addition to dishes like stir-fries, stews, and salads. It provides lean protein and a hearty texture, serving as a great substitute for red meat. Additionally, chicken is rich in amino acids that support muscle growth and maintain bone health, reducing the risk of injuries and conditions like osteoporosis.”

“Green peas are nutritious seeds from the Pisum sativum plant, offering fiber, protein, vitamins (A, C, K), and minerals (iron, folate). They support digestive health, aid in weight management, stabilize blood sugar, promote heart health, and provide antioxidants that benefit the immune system and eye health. Their high fiber content aids digestion and may protect against colon cancer, while their nutrient profile helps balance cholesterol levels and strengthen bones.”

“Sliced mushrooms are nutritious, low-calorie, and low-fat, providing B vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and antioxidants. They support heart health, immune function, and gut bacteria growth, while also offering vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. Research suggests they may help prevent cognitive impairment, making them a versatile meat substitute in various dishes.”

Something nearly gone off, something given, something leftover makes a great meal that is healthy, and delicious. Let’s cook!!!
