Welll, initially we ate it with the leftover sides that we had. Once that was all gone, we started to make other sides to go along with it. For example, we made some spinach and wheat pasta with cream sauce as a side. Sometimes we would eat it with things like broccoli cheese rice, herb rice or even rice pilaf.
Of course we also made sandwiches with the ham. We would just put some mayo and mustard on any type of bread with a few pieces of ham. Makes a great midnight snack! Kevin would also take it to work for lunch.
Another variation is to make chopped ham salad sandwich. Just chop the ham into tiny pieces and mix it with mayo, a little bit of deli mustard and sweet relish. It's really really yummy. You can put it on bread, stuff it in a pita, in a crescent roll, use it in a tortilla wrap....you can use it with almost anything!
Leftover ham is also great for casseroles. I made a ham and broccoli casserole with some of the leftover ham. It's real easy to make and really good too. I'll post the recipe for it in another post, another time :P
If you don't really have time to make a casserole, just buy one of those instant pasta packets and add in some ham when you are cooking it in the microwave. It gives that extra yummy kick to your mac n cheese!
We also whipped up some nice omelets with the leftover ham. Just cut the ham into chunks, throw it in a pan with eggs, some herbs, cheese and voila! You got yourself a nice ham omelet for breakfast or brunch!
Chopped ham also makes a good topping for salads. We ate it with some iceberg lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese and ceaser salad dressing. Mmm mmm mmm :D
Another yummy thing to make with leftover ham are pies and quiches. Shown here is a ham and cheese pie. To get the recipe for ham quiche, just click here. You just have to substitute the bacon with ham and spinach with broccoli. If you like spinach, you can make it with spinach too!
Cooking with leftover ham is not limited to Western dishes. A quick and easy Asian dish to make is fried rice. I would just fry up the ham with some mixed vegetable and rice. I added in some franks into my fried rice that day and topped it up with a fried egg. I served it with some dumpling and egg drop soup.
If you are not a fan of rice, you can eat it with noodles too. I would just slice up the ham and eat with any sort of noodle soup and vegetables. This time around, I ate it mee suah (thin rice noodles) and cabbage. I would sometimes eat it with nissin noodles or regular lo mien (yellow noodles) too. If you are not in the mood for soup, it taste equally good too if you fry it with instant noodles and make some ham maggi goreng!
There are still tons of things you can make with your leftover ham. There is no right or wrong, just be creative and I assure you that it will be yummy. This is our ham on Easter evening and what's left of it about 8-9 days later :P Hope you like some of the stuff I made with the ham. Go ahead, try out new recipes the next time you have leftover ham and don't forgot to share them with me!!!
You must be thinking, "Wow, it's such an awesome ride! I bet the line for this ride will be really long". Well, you got that right! It's an awesome ride but check this out. To celebrate the opening of this ride, SeaWorld is running a contest where you could win a "Front-of-the-line" pass to Manta at SeaWorld Orlando!! Just visit 
The other activities include taking a photo of yourself displaying "I Heart Manta" and submitting it to Flickr. Also get three friends to fill your row on the Manta ride. The fourth activity is to shoot a short video of yourself, tell us how excited you are to ride Manta and upload it to YouTube. Next, download a Manta mask from the website, put it on, take a photo of yourself and upload it to Flickr. The last activity is to follow @RealShamu on Twitter and tweet about why you are excited about Manta.
After cooking for a bit, add in the chicken breast. The chicken is already pre cooked, so you go not need to cook it for a long time. Traditionally, pork is used in Yakisoba. However, with all the Swine Flu and stuff going around these days, I have decided to use chicken for today.
Next goes in the shrimp. This is optional. I had some shrimp sitting around in the fridge, so I decided to toss them in for flavor.
Once all the ingredients are cooked through, add in the Yakisoba noodles. Yakisoba literally meas "fried noodles". However, the Yakisoba noodles are not the usual buckwheat soba noodles (even though soba is part of the word :P) but more like the ramen noodles that are made with wheat flour.
Stir the noodles around and mix it well. Add in about 3/4 cup of water and allow the noodles to simmer for a bit.
Add in the powdered flavoring and mix it into the noodles.
Continue to stir fry the Yakisoba for a little while and it is done! So easy, right?
I served the Yakisoba with some nori (seaweed) on the top. The taste? I was pretty impressed. It actually tasted like the Yakisoba we would get in Japanese restaurants. Who knows that a pack of Nama Yakisoba that cost only $2.95 (enough to feed 4-5 people) would taste the same as Japanese restaurant Yakisoba (probably cost at least $8 per plate!) :P The next time you are in a Japanese grocery store, check it out. It tasted really authentic and it's so easy to make!!
Brush the top with some egg wash. This will give the rolls a nice golden brown color once its done baking.
Pop it in a 350F oven for about 45 minutes.
Remove the tray from the oven once it's done. Allow the rolls to cool for a while before serving.
There you go! Roti Canai Hot Dog Rolls! It makes a good snack or a light meal. The crust came out all crispy and flaky. Very very yummy! I never knew that we could use frozen roti canais in such a manner. Go ahead and try it. It's gooooooooooood :D
We called in to order that special and also added on another can of Coke. After the call, we came to the conclusion that it's a Chinese restaurant that also sells Spanish food. Smart Chinese fellas, I guess they wanted to be different from all the other Chinese take out places(trust me, there are a lot here) and figured that they will boost their sales if they also sell Spanish food in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood.
