Mix-and-match leftovers

As you cook your way through this book, you will have leftovers, such as extra red bean paste from the mochi recipe, or spare bao dough. This is inevitable, as vegetables such as cauliflowers vary in size and sometimes – okay, most of the time – we snack along the way. So, what are you supposed to do with all that Peking jackfruit now you’ve run out of pancakes?

Enter the ‘mix-and-match’ page. What I love about these recipes is how well they go together, and how flexible they are. This is by no means an exhaustive list of all the ways you can use up these odds and ends, just some combinations that I have found work well together. It’s also a great resource if you feel like swapping around a recipe even before you make it.
