Loving our leftovers #boxingday

A great tradition in our family is the quick turnaround of leftovers from Christmas Day into Boxing Day dinner with fresh, asian flavours.

This year we had our extended family visiting so as well as our usual Turkey and Prawn Pad Thai, I added Asian Pork Belly Salad and Fried Rice with ham to the menu to cater for 12 people.

It was a great menu to use up leftover turkey, prawns, various vegetables and herbs at our holiday rental house.

The fried rice with lots of Christmas ham, mushrooms, carrots and peas was perfect for our granddaughter who loved it as much as the adults! Easy to make and certainly helped fill up the family after a hard day relaxing!

As always so much fun to have a big gang to cook for!!
