    Hey Folks! I recently posted one of my favourite recipes for using up mashed potato. That was the leftover mashed potato cakes recipe.

    I saw that you really liked that particular recipe as there were a lot of page views for it - thanks!

    So I thought you might also like my favourite dinner dish for using up any leftover rice you might have.

    This leftover rice prawn and mushroom stir fry.

    The simple addition of prawns, mushrooms, peas and spring onions to your rice makes this a perfect leftover rice dinner!

    This is a great budget recipe too.

    Here I'm using budget staples like frozen prawns, frozen peas and mushrooms.

    It's also a healthy leftover rice recipe.

    That's because prawns can help you have a healthy heart. Like most seafood, they're rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.

    I wouldn't mind if this was served up for a date meal it's that good!

    In fact if my memory serves me correctly. The first time I served up this recipe was when I was cooking for a date. Long ago in my student days.........

    You could easily add to it any other vegetables you have to hand too.

    Maybe like sweetcorn or broccoli? They both go really well with this stir fry.

    Or if you don't fancy leftover rice for dinner. You could also use your leftover rice to make a delicious overnight breakfast!

      I love a good stir fry rice, and I normally make it at home as the one you can get when eating out tend to be oily and fatty due to a use of a lot of oil. This rice looks light and healthy. And I certainly love the combo of shrimp, peas, and mushrooms. Delicious!

        You are absolutely right there Ben. I notice when I'm eating out and food has been cooked in lot's of oil. It makes it less appealing to me!

        Sometimes you can't beat a good healthy hearty home cooked stir fry can you? Especially when you're in control of how much oil it's been cooked in. 🙂

      Wow, I knew you guys were heading on an African adventure, but this one snuck up on me. I remember when you first announced this one, but still...time flies! In the meantime, though, I'm always looking for fun ways to use leftovers. This stir fry sounds delicious, and I love the mushrooms in there! Yum!

        For us David this coming African adventure seems to have taken ages! Still we both can't wait for it to begin.

        It's leftover stir fry recipes like this that have meant we could save our pennies for it! Glad you like it. 🙂

      Such a fantastic recipe for leftover rice, Neil! Though, gosh, am shocked that leftover rice is good for 4-6 days - when I was in college I had rice that was way older with dire consequences that I always blamed on whatever meat was with it.... now I know though!

        Thanks Shashi. I'm glad you liked the recipe. And I think we've all been there, where money has been tight as students and we've just eaten whatever we've had leftover in the fridge without thinking about the consequences! 😆
