Lasang Pinoy Sundays - Leftovers

Lasang Pinoy
Having lived with Hubby's lola, I learned that she is one thrifty and resourceful cook, she would scavenge for leftovers (cooked) from the kitchen and make them into an all new dish, tasty and very different from what it was. :D In a way, its nice, she doesn't waste food but on the other hand, like hubby puts it...too much.

Today's theme is leftovers, so I looked at what we have in the fridge and I concocted my own okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake). Literally it means: to cook what you like, in my case I cooked anything I have. :D
I found a small container of mixed seafoods: shrimp, baby octopus and squid, had them thawed and boiled a little. I chopped some green onions, I used the batter of a ready to cook pancake! Works fine too as the mixture of flour, egg, cabbage and water. Have them all mixed and pan-grilled.I then topped my easy morning breakfast meal with tonkatsu sauce, mayonnaise, katsuoboshi (fish flakes)...the black flakes you see on top are nori bits because I do not have aonori (seaweed flakes) that time. This was really a fun concoction, though the Japanese would say 'boroboro' to refer to tattered or broken stuff, this is the food version of that! So, tabemashou!

One time I had leftover grilled mixed seafood. What I did - marinated them with lemon and diced onion then fry them on smoking hot oil until sizzling. Kakaiba din :-)
Wow, some breakfast you have. :)
Hi G! Thanks for letting me know what okonomiyaki is - will definitely give this a try one of these days to "jazz up" our leftovers.
Take care!
I am not into Japanese food, but I will give it a taste if given the chance.
