Today I am not using udon or thin koay teow, which are used for soup, but vermicelli noodles. I intended to buy stewed luncheon meat canned and got sliced pork canned instead. To go with this sliced pork canned is my leftover cooked fried egg, which I have cut up into bite-sized pieces. In addition to them are leftover bits and pieces of stir-fried vegetables.

Do you know leftovers of food can be useful again? Don’t throw them away. Be creative; add the leftovers to rice or noodles and to any meat of your choice. Of course, if the food is not mouldy and is kept in the fridge or freezer. This is a quick and simple way to get a meal on the table. My cheat stewed pork gives extra flavour to vermicelli along with vegetables and chicken stock caramelised. Let’s get a creative new meal!!!

Ingredients

4 block vermicelli
1 Tbs soy sauce, marinate vermicelli
2 carrots, cut into bite size
8 green beans, cut into bite size
