Default Brown Bagging Ideas


In response to Bob's post, I decided to open this topic. )

Whenever I have leftover roast or fried chicken, I shred a few, and throw it
into a salad mix for work the next day. I find that I'm generally alert
throughout the afternoon afterwards!

1. Salad mix in one Tupperware
2. Shredded chicken pieces in a plastic bag (to top when ready to eat)
3. Salad dressing in a small travel type lotion bottle

I usually have my own pre-mixed salad in a big Tupperware so I don't have to
slice and dice every night.


CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

SALAD
mixed herbal greens with iceberg lettuce
red bell peppers (diced)
celery (diced)
green onions (sliced)
cucumber (sliced)
peanuts & wonton strips - optional
shredded leftover chicken

DRESSING (or use store-bought Miso-Sesame Dressing)
2 TBS white sesame seeds*
1 TBS sesame oil
1 TBS regular oil
2 TBS rice vinegar
2 TBS red miso
1 TBS sugar
1 TBS finely minced fresh ginger root
1 TBS finely minced green onion
1/2 TBS water or chicken stock (to thin out dressing a bit - to taste)
1/4 tsp rayu (hot chili oil)

*Toast 1/2 TBS of white sesame seeds in dry pan. Grind the rest in a mortar.
Combine and mix all in a bowl, and store in fridge.

I would love to hear other people's ideas!

When I bring my lunch, I generally don't bring enough. I plan on
eating light, then I get hungry later in the afternoon. Eg. yesterday
I brought a piece of tomato pie (a type of pizza) and a plum. By the
time I got home I was famished and ate too much! I need to spend some
time planning lunches.

I can't quite call what I did "brown bagging" since it was either previously
frozen and, as Siobhan said, left to thaw on my desk only to be popped into
the microwave later, or a soup I'd prepared and taken in a container to be
heated up.

Now see, with your leftover roasted or fried chicken, I'd just have put a
couple of pieces in a rubbermaid container with some green beans or potatoes
or rice and heated it up in the microwave. I'm just not a salad or cold
food person.

I cooked lots of food on weekends - still do, in fact. Then I'd freeze bits
of what was left - meatloaf, chicken or pot roast, for example. Or I'd take
the leftover fixings for tacos and the scent of the re-heated spiced meat
would draw a crowd This one guy used to hover around my desk (which
really annoyed the crap out of me) asking what I'd brought for lunch. Go
get your own!

Word of advice: fish doesn't go over well in an office environment If
you don't like your co-workers, be sure to reheat some salmon patties and
wave them around their general vicinity. LOL
