Much can be done with the leftovers from your favorite restaurant, whether they are brought home from an evening out, or from delivery or takeout. You can doctor near about anything in order to have a slightly different meal the next day at work, or the next evening for dinner.
Take Asian food, for example. The rices and meats might be combined to make a new meal, or they can be paired with foods you have on hand to create something even more tasty.
