Leftovers are the simplest thing to take to work for lunch. Sometimes you just end up with them. But if you are planning ahead you can cook a little more than you are going to eat at dinner so you have the makings of the next day’s lunch. This combination of cooked rice, vegetables and meat can accompany virtually any sauce you can imagine putting on it: vinaigrette, sesame dipping sauce, tahini sauce, pico de gallo, onion chutney, pesto, hummus. Simply pop it in the office microwave for a couple of minutes and eat.
