Ideas please!

make a red pepper and cherry tomato 'paste' (add garlic and onions before sweating down the peppers and tomatoes - about 20 minutes).
Pan saute fresh or frozen prawns at the last minute until just pink and add (scallops can be an alternative or served with) add to the paste/sauce. Serve on Chinese egg-noodles.

Not for tomorrow (as you're not going out again), but for next time, think Pancake Rolls. Mrs A did, and the results are stunning! You can buy the wrappers from Ocado (etc), fill them with what you like (in our case vegetables only), shallow fry them, and they are delicious.
The not-going-out-again thing puts the kyebosh on many other ideas, I'm afraid. Again, Ocado/M&S do a nice beansprout these days for only 50p, which are easy to cook and delicious.
And if you've got time (and no going out) do fried rice rather than steamed. Do the rice today so it's got time to cool properly, then fry a spring onion or two, plus a fast-scrambled egg, then the rice with some added soy sauce.
I've not cooked meats for 40 years now, so a bit short of ideas on that front.

these are great - the Guangdong folk tend to use pigeon rather than chicken and they're even better! https:/
Am now drifting towards Dt's tomato and pepper dish (we've a glut of tomatoes).
Allen - glad you said that about rice. So many tales of never eat reheated rice but imho the only way to do fried rice is to cook the day before and dry it.
I've always got pancake wrappers so they are part of the starter. Along with prawn toast and sticky chicken wings.
Duck is drying nicely for crispy duck.
Some lovely ideas here that I had not considered so they're in the bank for next time! Really fancy foo yung!
Thanks guys.
