I will admit that I am sometimes guilty of not having enough leftovers.  I am a calculating cook who plans to make meals that waste very little and hence leftovers don't seem to be lurking in my fridge very often but when they do I can be found looking lovingly at the peanut butter and the prospect of Bang Bang Sauce. 


This is perfect for leftover chicken or turkey and in fact is often eaten greedily with no meat in it at all and you could even consider the addition of cooked and cooled rice noodles to make it even more substantial.
