Tips and tricks for your leftover Slendier

Do you find yourself getting to the end of the week only to throw out your leftover rice, spaghetti and a bunch of uneaten fruit and veg from the fridge? While most of our recipes use a whole packet of Slendier, we’ve come up with some creative ideas for using any leftovers in case you find yourself with some after a cook up. Remember to always pack leftovers for lunch the next day to cut down on waste too!

Simmer for two hours and strain
