Leftover Chinese Food Baked Dumplings

in

 Stick with me on this one, it is pretty weird.  

I had some Chinese food left-overs I was about to compost.  They were 2 days old and the rice was kinda dried out - however,  I was hungry and we were short on food.  As all creative cooks know this is a "recipe" for innovation.

What I came up with turned out to be easy and super delicious!

Baked dumplings made from leftover Chinese food

Ingredients:

  • 2 half-eaten lunch size portions of Chinese food (in my case broccoli beef on fried rice and garlic spinach on white rice)
  • 2 eggs
  • soy sauce to taste

Preheat oven to 300 ° F.  Place oven-safe bowl of water in lower rack.

Throw all ingredients into a food proccessor until blended thoroughly.  Transfer batter into oiled muffin tin.  

Bake for 45 min to an hour.  Dumplings are done when a chopstick can be inserted and pulled out clean.

They were so good I ate 3 right away!
