Second helpings. Fresh possibilities.

Leftover Labs

Good food deserves an encore. Turn yesterday's dinner into something worth looking forward to.

What have you got left?

Yesterday's rice. Today's favourite bowl.

Quick fried rice

Stir-fry your cooked rice with vegetables you have. Add egg or tofu only if they're in your kitchen, and heat until steaming hot throughout.

A warming rice soup

Stir cooked rice into a simmering vegetable soup near the end. Add only enough for the portions you're eating now.

Keep it safe

Cool rice quickly, ideally within one hour. Refrigerate and use within 24 hours. Reheat only once until steaming hot throughout.

Start with what you have
