The leftovers my GF freezes thinking they'll make a good lunch. I've been wondering what was in this for 6 months.

I understand freezing meat with sauce and even some broccoli, all that is fine, but that freezer burn rice is criminal.

It's been in there for ages. She freezes things like this but never actually takes them for lunch.

[-]

Waste not, want not. Seems like a reasonable thing to freeze and eat later. What's the problem? Too small of a portion? Add something to it. It sounds like she has a good idea that may need a bit of tweaking.

dedokta@reddit (OP)

She doesn't cook, like at all. Shell never defrost and eat this, it's just taking to space in the freezer. The picture seriously didn't do it justice to how crappy a lunch this wire be.

Socksgonewrong@reddit

Sounds like you should make and pack your own lunch instead of complaining

[-]

dedokta@reddit (OP)

It's not my lunch, I just found it in the freezer. There's no way she's ever taking this for her lunch either. It's being thrown out.

i think you suck at it more than she does to be honest, and she doesnt really suck at it that much

Some of us have smaller appetites. If I could eat broccoli, this would be a meal for me.

Looks like a pigeon decomposed in there

Your girlfriend is right.

How the fuck is 3 bits of broccoli and a tiny splash of sauce in a container full of plain rice a meal?

[-]

faatbuddha@reddit

How many pieces of broccoli do you want

[-]

Gooftwit@reddit

It's a fine lunch. Rice fills you up and it has a little bit of vegetables and sauce.

bro why does it look like molds are growing in there?

AsparagusOverall8454@reddit

It’s not so much the portion size, it’s that it’s frozen in a shitty way. Freezing rice is pretty frugal. But freezing it in a plastic container that isn’t meant to hold frozen food is the issue. Also, adding sauce later is probably better. And adding fresh vegetables too is probably better. Even adding frozen veggies and cooking it would make a good meal.

She had the right idea, she just didn’t execute it as well as she could have.

Man, people are really doenvote crusading against you, man. I actually agree with you, though. A wack of plain white rice ith three lil' chunks of broccoli and half a teaspoon of sauce is stupid as fuck.

I don't blame her for saving it, because I'm broke and cheap and I would too, but I'd eat it r repurpose it right away -- this shit ain't worth freezing when it's saving essentially no time unless you just want to eat a pile of plain, unseasoned white rice.

Everyone downvoting OP was paid by his girlfriend/eats like her.

Reasonable_Diet7955@reddit

Sounds like something my girlfriend would try and do. She'll try and wrap up leftovers that are like 2 bites and then never eat them

[-]

SpeedBlitzX@reddit

Heat it up and added a good tinned fish and chili pil and I bet it'll be amazing

[-]

dedokta@reddit (OP)

Yeah, those 3 pieces of broccoli and that tiny drizzle of sauce will really make the dish pop.

reedzkee@reddit

Realizing i dont think ive ever had frozen rice

[-]

Pube_donor@reddit

Add some chicken and it might be alright for a snack maybe

[-]

sierrabravo1984@reddit

Has a nice crunch.

ghostcat_crafting@reddit

Why are you so bothered by this

[-]

sharpears907@reddit

Add some broth and you've got a stew brewing, baby. Your GF is smart and frugal.

TheDudeMaverick@reddit

honestly? hell yeah, add some carrots, onions, garlic. Salt & pepper, any stock of choice and you got yourself a low effort Congee.

[-]

KogasaGaSagasa@reddit

You got downvoted by someone, but I concur - though the portion looks a little bit small. I'd like having maybe 3 times that leftover, and then split the congee into 2 or so portions.

... On the other hand I am pretty big and has a voracious appetite, so maybe I am not the best person to talk about portion sizes with in the first place.

I generally have some frozen pre-chopped onion, and some bags of frozen vegetables. Fry the onion up with some freshly crushed garlic, slices of ginger, maybe whatever frozen vegetables for a bit, add in a broth of choice and yeah, that'll definitely work. Maybe a dash of soy sauce, black vinegar, etc too. Get some sliced beef or whatever if you are fancy, or maybe even century eggs if you are adventurous and experienced (Or just normal eggs). Should be a nice amber-coloured congee.

dedokta@reddit (OP)

That's no meat, just that tiny splash of sauce.

[-]

jibbergirl26@reddit

Was hopeful meat was involved, would not have saved it if no meat! You poor thing, don't bother.

[-]

zach0011@reddit

The fact that you cant identify what this is more concerning

[-]

dedokta@reddit (OP)

Well it had a lid on it and she doesn't label. That's why I opened it and found 3 pieces of broccoli, a tiny bit of sauce and a lot of rice.
