yall i can't believe i haven't thought about this before but i tried it today and it was choice as hell
you know when you get a tin or a jar of stuffed grape leaves, how there's a bunch of remaining oil and seasoning in there? Use it to cook vegetables.
I had a lil tin of dolma for lunch and then used a bit of the oil like a ladolemono to fry up some zucchini, twas delicious

Creamy Chicken Congee topped with Bacon
Add bones for the most delicious congee. It's a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method of cooking, but I use it because the chicken congee I make with the bones is far superior. Congee can be made with just water and rice; nevertheless, many traditional meals around the world use the time-honored method of adding bones to dishes that don't necessarily call for them.

After the wontons folding party, I had many different shapes of wontons to enjoy, and my favourite way to enjoy them at home is a comforting bowl of wontons soup.
Broth: Start with chicken stock, add ginger, and add something fishy. Dried fish, shrimp shells (or shells from other shellfish), seaweed, and fish bones are great sources of fishiness. So is fish sauce--but add that toward the end of cooking. I recently found a source for kombu seaweed, so I no longer use nori (which disintegrates). You can read about my original not-recipe here.
Veggies: Here, I've used gai lan which was chopped into soup-able pieces. The leafy greens were cut into wide ribbons, and the stalk was cut on the bias to make spoon-sized chunks. (Traditionally it would be left whole, which I find annoying to eat.) I boiled the chopped gai lan in salted alkaline water very briefly just to wilt them, before adding to the soup.
Oil: A little drizzle of sesame oil and homemade chili oil was the perfect accompaniment to this bowl (my chili oil turned out too hot for my tastes, so adding additional oil diluted the heat).
