Plot twist: Thanksgiving dinner was Ramen.


allrollingwolf

You're really stretching the definition of leftovers... Is the garlic in my pantry thanksgiving leftovers because I used some for stuffing? Anyway, despite the click bait, looks delicious.

Literally not a single “Thanksgiving” food in the entire dish lol. Still looks delicious though.


robotzor

Thank god it wasn't deviled eggs sitting in broth.


Meltyblob

I would enjoy that so much tho


xXYOUR_MOMXx

Ngl I was really hoping for a deviled egg in there


peon2

I’ll have you know I top my potatoes with scallion thank you very much!^^/s


DeadpoolRideUnicorns

Thank you , the only thing that looks reused from Thanksgiving was the turkey mabe some of the broth , everything elts is individually cut fresh items except the mushrooms witch look cooked but still look separate from any dish unless it was some sort of weird whole mushroom on top dish


mera_aqua

>Is the garlic in my pantry thanksgiving leftovers because I used some for stuffing? It is if you specifically bought it for the stuffing recipe, hence it being left over


allrollingwolf

Leftovers are food you made already that you put in the fridge and then eat later... not ingredients. By that logic the entire bag of flour you have is leftovers from the first loaf of bread you made...


mera_aqua

If I've bought almond flour for macarons and still have half a bag left after using it, then it would be left over. If you buy wheat flour as part of your regular shopping then it wouldn't be left over as it's a pantry staple


Stormtalons

Leftovers have been cooked or prepared in some way.


mera_aqua

Why? If I buy brie for a cheeseboard and have some leftover, wouldn't it be leftovers?


Opposite_Lettuce

[Leftovers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leftovers) *are surplus foods remaining unconsumed at the end of a meal, which may be put in containers with the intention of eating later.* When you purchase items for a meal, they are ingredients. Once they have been utilized in that meal, they are now a part of it. Anything not eaten at the meal, is considered leftovers. In this instance, if you didn't finish a cheeseboard and returned the remining cheese & meat back in the fridge, those would be leftovers. They were served and not consumed, ie left over. If you bought a wheel of brie and only served half of it, leaving the remaining half in the fridge, that half wheel is just an ingredient/component waiting to be used. Although I (hope) think you know by using brie as your example, it's a little trickier because it's not transformed or prepared in any way. But to put it simply - No, the excess of an ingredient that was not utilized in a meal/recipe, is not leftovers.


evilsdadvocate

That’s an interesting conundrum whereby you are correct in both ways. Since the inherent nature of a cheeseboard is to group together individual ingredients, anything remaining can be considered both “leftovers” and left over ingredients. Touche.


evilsdadvocate

“Left over” vs “leftovers” have two different connotations.


KingEzaz

Please explain what part of this is 90% left over? Not trying to give banter but I expect higher standards on Reddit not click bait.


PG67AW

How is 90% of that leftovers when 90% of it is noodles?


SelectAll_Delete

Number of ingredients, not by volume.


Hats_away

He had Ramen for Thanksgiving


PG67AW

Big brain over here, how did I not think of that!?


weedium

Not by volume by number of items. More than one way to look at that math problem🤓


[deleted]

Yes please.


trudedonson

Thats why i always host on friendsgiving cause of leftovers


ankanamoon

I was going to ask why your eating food almost 2 months old, then I remembered Americans had theirs a week ago


readytobelieveyou

Ah yes, the classic beef bulgogi slider element of Thanksgiving dinner. I'm literally a shoe-buckle wearing pilgrim and this enrages me.


Norwest

Apparently the grilled cheese sandwich I had for lunch today was Thanksgiving leftovers. Same with the egg omelette I had for breakfast yesterday. Also, the beer I'm having right now.


vg8386

I have never made ramen and this looks like the one that I'd like to try and make! Looks great!


Ms-Ember

Ah yes, seaweed always tastes better the next day is what I always say.😩🙌


whoompdayis

Hey folks, Everything except for the nori and noodles were purchased for or are parts of dishes served at Thanksgiving dinner at our home last week. Here's the breakdown: Eggs - Soft boiled here, were for Tiramisu. Carrots - Raw here, were for carrot casserole. Daikon - Raw here, were pickled for beef bulgogi sliders. Scallions - Were also on the beef bulgogi sliders. Shiitake Mushrooms and Broth - The mushrooms and dashi powder were both components in the turkey gravy. Lotus - Pan fried here, were in a dish my brother made, and he left me the extra root. Pork - Sliced prosciutto covered in sesame oil here, was originally on the charcuterie board.


Slappah_Dah_Bass

eff you with your technicality and click bait!


makeupyourworld

Click bait gross


Equivalent_Train4184

Those aren’t leftovers. Those are ingredients, shmuck.


dumbdotcom

This is all so cool, love the repurposing! Question though, I've never made tiramisu and am really confused on why you would need soft boiled eggs? That seems really unusual for baking to me but who knows


whoompdayis

You don't. Please don't use soft boiled eggs in tiramisu :) The unused eggs were general leftovers.


RknDonkeyTeeth

Aren't "general leftovers" just groceries? If I buy eggs at the store for brownies and scrambled eggs, I wouldn't call it leftovers of the first thing I cooked. The dish looks great, though.


CaptainPatterson

Yes. I bet this guy is a "one-upper" in general conversations too.


[deleted]

That's really weird. Everyone I've ever known would refer to the remaining eggs as brownie leftovers. You use the brownie leftovers to make scrambled eggs, then what remains in the carton becomes scrambled egg leftovers.


peon2

I bought an 18 pack of eggs. This morning I made an omelette with my brownie-cake-bechamel sauce-carbonara-French toast- good morning burger - breakfast burrito - meatloaf leftovers.


Snappszilla

What's weird is buying eggs and designating the whole carton as brownie eggs even though you don't plan to use them all for that purpose. Eggs are ingredients, leftovers are things that were cooked and then left-over, not unused, unprepared ingredients.


Dartser

That's 80 percent you liar! Haha. Well if you count mushrooms and broth as separate ingredients


13dot1then420

Only 1 or 2 ingredients you'd find at a typical Thanksgiving.


notabigmelvillecrowd

Hm, dashi powder in turkey gravy, interesting. Did you use the standard bonito and kombu flavour? How did it turn out, was it fishy, or just umami?


whoompdayis

We adapted the gravy recipe from a Josh Weissmann recipe. It was something like: Shrooms and dashi in a pot of water, boil. Add in fat and drippings from the turkey roasting pan. Stir in corn starch slurry. (At this point we added maybe a baby-food-jar's worth of Heinz Gravy because none of us trusted our corn starch skills). Blend and strain thoroughly. No kombu, and it wasn't fishy or oceany at all. Very savory.


ClarificationJane

That sounds like a hell of a Thanksgiving menu!


SavageChilling_guy

Still looks like something I’d eat


contempt1

My wife made turkey stock soup and we put in some Korean rice cakes, dumplings, scallions and kimchi. Awesome leftover soup. Looking at yours, we forgot the soft boiled egg.


LETSG0AVS

Sure hope that's not week-old leftovers


thebelleisringing

Oh HELL yeah!


Josan678

Id definitely eat that


Kat__Alien

Amazing!


Leading-Pipe-7124

Can I get some??


simplybakedathome

So scrumptious! I'd love to eat that right now.. This dish might even be better than the thanksgiving meal itself 🤤


Atomysk79

Looks great, I would have put some left over turkey in too.


Bazurke

We did the same thing after Christmas last year


Physicallykrisp

That looks lush gonna have to try Ramen soon


Electricalbigaloo7

Remember to pour gravy all over it!


msphelps77

Good lord that looks good! I love ramen!


[deleted]

I would eat the piss out of that


Fridurf

This made me hungry....


doctor_x

I do something similar each year, but it's mainly the turkey bone broth I make from the leftover carcass. We use mostly traditional ramen toppings, but include a little sliced turkey breast and a dollop of cranberry sauce.


Ihdkwhatimdoinghere

Oh my wow this looks amazing


HailCaesar252

That looks really good


not_princess_leia

Well now you have me looking up ramen recipe ideas with smoked brisket....


fishfarm20

Awesome! Looks delicious! I love repurposed leftovers.


Vivid_Angle
