Prompt to copyHere's a photo of my leftovers: [describe briefly, e.g. half a roast chicken, some rice, wilting spinach]. Suggest 3 lunches I can make tomorrow in under [10] minutes, ideally ones that travel well in a lunchbox. Only use what's in the photo plus basic store-cupboard items like oil, spices, eggs and bread. For each: name, what to do tonight, what to do tomorrow, and how long it keeps in the fridge.Prep and pack tonight
Do the 'tonight' steps straight away and put the food in a labelled container so it's ready to grab.
What you get
1) Chicken & spinach fried rice: tonight shred the chicken; tomorrow fry with rice, spinach and an egg (8 mins). 2) Chicken wrap with yoghurt dressing... Keeps: cooked rice 1 day only, so eat it first.
Tips
- Food safety matters: follow official food hygiene guidance on how long cooked rice and meat keep, and when in doubt throw it out.
