Just a bit of Oil and a bit of Panko

It has recently occurred to us that any leftover can become great. A few simple steps will make any leftover turn into a brand new, delicious meal, irregardless of how it was in its original form. Form it into a patty, dredge it in some panko and fry it up. We have only actually put this method to test with a few of the myriad of potentials, but feel confident it is a fail safe method.
Follow these simple steps below:

1) Select leftover from fridge. Don't fear if you aren't terribly excited about it. Consider adding two leftovers together,or three. Throw the veggies right in. Did you make a sauce to go with it, throw it in! Left over rice, throw it in. You get the idea. Consider it's texture...is it slice-able? mushy and patty-able? What else can you throw into it? rice? an egg? a bit of flour?
2) Slice, or form into a patty (depending on what is most appropriate for this particular leftover concoction).
3) Dredge in panko
4) Heat a bit of oil in a skillet and fry up your leftover patty or slice.
5) Serve, perhaps with some sour cream or a bit of cheese or some other more appropriate condiment. Enjoy.

So far, we've tried this with macaroni and cheese (a treat definitely worth making!) and lentil loaf mixed with rice. They were great. But think of the other possibilities! Think of Thanksgiving all mixed together, turned into a patty and fried up. Or rice and beans. Or Thai food. Or baked ziti. Or mashed potatoes and gravy... or, or, or.
