I love spicy food and one of the most tragic things I find is when people just throw away the sauce. That chilli oil is so darn delicious and a labor of love. So early this year I had opportunity to get free dish from Xian Famous Foods grand opening, it was awesome. Everyone loves free stuff but they were so generous in their offerings, I got their hand pulled noodle with spicy lamb dish to go.
I literally made spicy dishes for a week off this one meal. Meal #1 was 3/4 of the noodles with sauce and some of the meat. Meals 2-4 , was taking leftovers especially the sauce and adding it to bowl of rice and my favorite veggie Bak Choy. Because of the spicy sauce I really was able to stretch this meal into 3 additionally cheap meals!
Lesson, never ever throw away the remainder of your ASian Spicy dish, a little chilli oil goes a long way! It really makes a plain bowl of rice, a meal on its own almost. In this case $1 worth of rice and $1veggie, total cost $2 for total of 4 delicious meals! Or if u didn't get this free, $10 bux for 4 meals.
I do this with all my Spicy Takeways.
