Samar Halarnkar: Steamed chicken and a new life to leftovers · livemint.com

A man who writes about food likes to cook at home.

He made a dish of chicken steamed with ginger and spring onion.

When the chicken was done, some tasty broth had formed under it.

He saved that broth because it was so good—he called it 'liquid gold.'

He used the broth and leftover chicken to make a new meal for the next day.

That way, the same food gets a brand new life instead of being thrown away.

Everyone loved the first meal very much.

But the man was not sure the main eater in his family would love the new version just as much.

Giving leftovers a new life can make cooking more fun and waste less food.
