[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn’t discover this trying to stretch but I will mix jasmine or sticky rice into the mu shu chicken filling and add some soy sauce. My daughter eats all the mu shu pancakes so I added rice once and it was really good. Can easily double the amount you get.

If you don’t mind boiling water, you can make a bunch of lo mein noodles and then mix in your Chinese food. Flat rice noodles for Thai.

Not take out, but a really easy I don’t want to cook a meal is a crunchy chicken salad. I buy those bigs of just bare chicken nuggets or tenders from Costco. You just throw them in the oven. When done I add them to a bag of salad mix. Southwest, avocado ranch or Asian all work really well.

Oddly in our area [b]rice is an extra charge[/b] so we usually just make it at home but if your entrees come with the big boxes of rice and you have leftover you can make fried rice or a chicken/cheese rice dish or ground beef or chicken with whatever seasoning or sauce you have and mix the rice in. I like ground pork, ginger, Thai chili oil with rice mixed into it. DH like ground beef, bulgogi sauce and rice mixed in. [/quote]

Rice is not cheap to buy for individuals or restaurants.
Rice is filling and calorie-dense so no reason retailers or restaurants will "give it away"--it has value, so to speak[/quote]
