I created a dinner based on leftovers based from a comment someone made on a Facebook foodie group about not caring too much for leftovers. Now I cannot say I enjoy leftovers, but there are some food that are best served best when it gets reheated over and over. Anyways, I used this as a challenge for leftovers I had in the fridge.
In my fridge I had leftover chicken that I had used during the week on a different dish. This was previously marinaded with Asian flavors and roasted in the oven. I cut the chicken breast into large cubes and seared it in the reserved bacon fat.
Second, I had leftover Asian pesto I had used in my green glass noodles dish. This was created the same way as your traditional basil pesto, but i used a Thai basil, cilantro and mint. I tossed the Asian pesto with some vermicelli.
Last but not least, the Asian bacon. This was not necessarily leftover, but yet it was. I had finished making bacon the previous night and cut the slabs of bacon into smaller portions and carved off the uneven parts of the pork belly. So I guess essentially it is the "leftover" part of the bacon.
Ladies and Gentlemen...I present to you, my fabulous dish created from a bunch of leftovers.
