Looks yummy !
This is a great idea and it will work with just left over regular pasta too, just might need a bit more spices then. Also, if you have small amounts of left over meat, if you don't have enough for something now and you have a freezer, free it and use it the next time you have just a little left over from something else.
What's leftover Mac and cheese? That doesn't exist in our household. It's never around long enough to be leftover.
I was sitting here thinking "I could use my leftovers to fill dumplings..!"
But how can that be inexpensive/cheap? Well, a store local to me has inexpensive dumpling wrappers…and they might be at your local supermarket, too.
I go for the circular ones, although I think the square kind are easier to find…? (The square ones can be called wonton wrappers).
I know spring roll wrappers are kept near the wonton wrappers, but I don't know how spring roll wrappers would work, as I think they're different..? But those could be a fun experiment, too! 🙂
Since the dumplings are essentially just fresh pasta, you could fill them with just about anything. That means lots of things can go in there. Even the leftovers Larry has here, though I know you'd have to cut the meat smaller for sure. Pasta + pasta would taste fine, but would not be low carb.
As far as how you fill and seal Asian dumplings, I know Maangchi has videos about those here on Youtube. (The Korean name for the dumplings is mandu, so that's what she calls them.) The explanations of how to fill them are valuable, even if you can't fill them with what she uses to fill them. She also has a video about how to make the wrappers themselves.
(My slightly deaf ears love that she has captions, too.)
I could be better at Asian-style fillings, some of which are easier to achieve than others. I suspect ground beef cooked with some soy sauce would work. Maybe with a bit of shredded carrot, too. If you cook the beef and carrot before you stuff the dumpling, then you only have to worry about cooking the noodle part.
The dumplings can be steamed or pan-fried. I should try frying them; they're crunchy on the outside that way.
Experimentation is fun. 😀 (It's how I merrily fell down the rabbit hole of Asian-style cooking.)
Left Overs are always The Best!!!
let's go Brandon!food shortages are coming the potato administration said
It looks like an absolute mess. It also sounds delicious. 😋😋😋
My step mom used to call this mustgos .. cause everything in the fridge must go ..
Man I'm not on a budget right now due to certain things that happened that I don't deserve. But you are a God send. Wish I had your channel to watch in my early teens and late 20,s. The amount of thing you cojure up is astounding. You are literally saving lives and filling stomachs for penny's on the dollar. Keep up the good work man we are all going to need this in the next few years
I’m definitely going to keep these in mind now that a specific someone is making not so smart decisions
Nice
I'm glad you're teaching this kind of thinking. Not everyone grew up with this frugal knowledge, but even if a person's rich, food waste is wrong if avoidable.
I've made some pretty interesting omelettes with leftovers. Some really good, some not so good. Fun to try new combinations though!
Too much work. Throw leftovers (except fish) into a stockpot, add garlic onion salt pepper and enough water to cover everything put on the heat and dinner becomes refrigerator soup. Too thin? Add rice and let it simmer to your taste.
Certified Gold!!!!!
Not quite a skillet dinner, but I did bake my enchiladas in my cast iron skillet tonight. They were freaking awesome.
Heck, I do this sort of thing all the time. It can be fun to see what I come up with! Usually on a Friday night, using the weeks leftovers.
This is some stoner food and I'm here for it
It can be hard to think sometimes I know what you mean. Two months ago I had surgery to remove a small tumor from my brain and you won't believe they actually found a brain in my head. You have great ideas to cook food for the struggling out there. Are prices going up very fast in the US? In Australia they are going up very quickly.
Sometimes using your imagination creates the best tasting food.
I always picture the music would go with shots of robots on assembly lines working on high tech shit, then I think it’s funny it’s actually budget food options instead. Love this channel
I just gave my dog the leftover Mac and cheese. Got everything else still. Especially the sliced jalapenos sitting in the fridge.. Thanks for the video 👍
Another good one Larry! I come from a large family so there weren't many leftovers. Every Saturday was Leftover Lunch while my mom was at the grocery store. Now days I purposely cook a little extra so I can make these types of meals. Fast, easy and pretty satisfying.
That looked pretty tasty, good job! I used my leftovers tonight to make fried rice. All you need is day old rice, and whatever stuff you have chopped up small. It's the only leftover dish my kids don't complain about because they don't know it's leftovers. My kids are too picky I think. When i was growing up we didn't complain about the food, we just ate it.
Right up my ally!!
Gone for two weeks and only a 3 1/2 minute weedjio? Haiyaa!!! We, the people, deserve more from you! Thanks, Larry!
Thank you dad looks real good I really like you videos it's been a while since I left the comment say hello to your family God bless you
Love your vids honestly in the last few weeks I have been being watching your stuff..
But yah you sound different today you ok brother?
Been loving your videos for years…..
Please no more hillbilly voice 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have corn chips, I'm going to make some enchiladas
Love this. I make chili mac a lot of times throughout the year because it can last me up to 4 days and I don’t mind leftovers. I’m not struggling by any means, I’m a bachelor with no kids, but I hate spending money on fast food and going out eating when I don’t need to these days.
Looks very delicious 😋
HAHA! This past weekend – I don't know what was going on in my sister's day, but she asked if her two oldest girls could sleep over my place.
"ARAMIS419SISTER, I've been divorced for a decade! I don't know how to cook – AT ALL – let alone for two teenagers!"
"They're teenagers! They'll eat anything you put in front of them, and hate it at the same time!"
"Okay, Uncle Aramis," I says to myself, "time to put on your work boots and thinking cap."
Well, leftover Mac and Cheese, some leftover white rice, a can of tuna, half a lemon, some butter, a splash of stale Chardonnay later…
Shoot, we cleaned out my fridge and had a poppin' meal at the same time!
Now, only if they'd have done the dishes….
I love me some leftovers and that made up dish looked mighty tasty Larry! Hope you and the family are all doing well my friend! Cheers to ya!
Great video. We save and make sure to use 100% of our leftovers. For retired people this astronomical inflation is really a killer and videos like these help so much. Keep up the good work!
Add water by the drippy. If it looks dry add really less water. It’s okay. Stir and add
When are you going to put together a recipe book Larry?
Rice, pasta, corn bread, all else in , uh, "toppings". and the hot sauce..and butter… and well, you know.
This was really common when I was growing up. One thing we did almost weekly was to use up leftover meat and veg by making Ramen with the leftovers.
Known more than one guy missing part or all of one or more fingers.
Me- 16 years old, machine shop, 12 ton press, barrels and barrels of 3 inch pipes to be flared for Ford water pumps. First day guy who was running it before back from sick leave missing 2 fingers. This was back in about '74. Loved that place.
Thanks and cheers
Loved this one ! You can do so much w/ leftover Mac & cheese. Last night I mixed some leftover Imitation Crab into some mac & cheese, put it in a small glass roasting dish & sprinkled buttered bread crumbs on it. Gourmet Crab Mac N Cheese !
In the biz we call this "sloppa". My favorite recipes.
