This popular Southeast Asian street fare is known as mee goreng (fried noodles). Look for the sweet bean sauce and noodles (which are sometimes frozen) at Asian markets; substitute dried linguine for lo mein. You can always use less chile paste to make a milder version.

A juicy ham slice is just as tasty as a whole ham, and it's easier and faster to prepare. Plus, topped with golden pineapple sauce, this dish is so elegant on the table.

Sliced ham is layered in a casserole with pineapple and brown sugar then baked in ginger ale. My family does this every year with our Christmas Eve ham and it never fails to be anything but delicious! Scale it down and it will work to use up leftover ham too!
