Tamar Adler's new cookbook is an ode to the bags of yesterday's salad in your fridge and the jars of nearly empty peanut butter in your cupboard. Leftovers, she says, are to be celebrated.
In this recipe, everything that helps the sauce comes together – hot water, garlic, salt, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and chiles – goes into the nearly empty nut butter jar and gets shaken up until you're ready to coat the noodles and add some veggies and herbs.
"I think I started making a version of this not because of a leftover empty jar, but because I was like, oh, I have, like, the vegetables I have are a quarter of a cucumber and a single carrot, you know? And it's like it could end up solving any number of problems."Keren Carrión/NPRAdler cuts pieces of gouda cheese for the crispy potato peels in a kitchen in Bethesda, Md.Many of the recipes don't have measurements, and that's the point.
Now, there are times when Adler will deem something not worth saving and chuck it into the trash, but for the most part, the success of leftovers comes from how much effort you put in up front.
