Let's share meal ideas that use bits of things that lie around in an ordinary poor and understocked kitchen.


Shit like yesterday's bread, ham, eggs, bits of low quality meats, flour, small amounts of veggies and dried herbs, maybe some basic sauces like ketchup, mayo, tabasco.

No high quality anything in terms of ingredients and the cheaper the ingredients, and the better the low quality food is put to use, the better.

Pic related is fishball tempura (picture is not mine). It's processed white fish leftovers with some sugar, garlic, salt, mineral water, baking soda and potato starch. The processed paste is shaped into a ball and boiled. Then it's dried, battered in a mix of flour with some mineral water, vodka and egg and fried up. Served with some spicy mayo sauce with vodka (the addition of vodka made the sauce lighter although it was a little weird, I wouldn't recommend this unless you add some herbs to the sauce).

Feel free to rate my idea.

Canned stuff and pasta and rice are also fair game.

OP again, tuna burgers are also awesome and if you've got canned tuna then everything else you need should be laying around in every kitchen.

With leftover rice, we mix it with meat to make rice meatballs and put it in soup

Croquettes are good for using small amounts of stuff up. Make a fair amount of roux, then add a little milk until you have a very thick paste, season it, chop your leftovers up and stir them in, then let it cool a bit. Scoop spoonfuls out into some flour, roll them into balls or cylinders, bread them and fry them.

You have to eyeball the roux a bit, but because you're cooking them again it doesn't matter much if you have to add a bit more flour.

well basically everything can be reshaped in meatballs and fried, most leftover recipes do that
or make a frittata out of them

Bumping thread for board curation.

I usually mix leftovers (boiled) potatoes with some white flour, salt and eggs and fry/bake them. They're delicious. Love this kind of creative anti-waste cooking.
