Ingredients

  • 2 cups leftover roast potatoes, mashed (or mashed potato)
  • 2 cups leftover roast vegetables (cabbage, brussels sprouts, carrot, pumpkin, onion etc.)
  • ½ cup chopped leftover roast chicken
  • 1 egg
  • 100 g (1 cup) shredded cheese, plus a little extra for coating
  • 25 g butter
  • salt and pepper, to season
  • okonomiyaki sauce or barbecue sauce, to serve
  • Japanese mayonnaise, to serve
  • 1 tbsp finely shredded curly parsley, to serve

Instructions

  1. Place the potato, roast vegetables, roast chicken, egg and cheese in a large bowl and mix together well. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat and sprinkle a little extra cheese and half the butter in the base (this will help the bubble and squeak stick together). Fry for about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a plate.
  3. Sprinkle a little extra cheese in the base of the pan again and add the remaining butter. Slide the bubble and squeak on top and fry for a further 5 minutes or until cooked through and set.
  4. Turn out onto a plate and top with okonomiyaki sauce, Japanese mayonnaise and parsley.
