There’s one problem that most of us will probably face during Chinese New Year:
Leftover food. More specifically, leftover bak kwa, because all people and their mother buy it as gifts for those around them.

And after a few days of shoving slice after slice of bak kwa into our mouths, we might have gotten a little bored of just having the snack by itself.
So, instead of eating bak kwa plain, why not try out the following recipes?
Bak Kwa Bread
Ah, yes, the iconic post-CNY breakfast.
It’s quite literally just bak kwa sandwiched between two pieces of bread, making it the perfect fuss-free breakfast for when you return to work while still groggy from your late-night conversations with relatives you haven’t seen in a while.
It’s also perfect if you’ve got any leftover pastries or bread lying around in your house – don’t forget to shove bak kwa into them and have them before they expire!
Bak Kwa Bread With Chicken Floss
But if you’re a little tired of just having bak kwa with bread, why not try out bak kwa bread with pork or chicken floss?
Also a Chinese New Year snack, pork floss is bound to make an appearance somewhere, whether it’s in the form of just floss itself or the tightly-bound rolls.
Either way, you can still stuff them right into your bak kwa sandwich for a greater variety of texture and more savoury goodness! (And you get to help clear the leftovers at a faster pace as well).

Bak Kwa Fried Rice
Probably the best kind of fried rice, ever.
With complete rein over what ingredients and toppings you want to put in your fried rice, chop up some bak kwa and toss it in as well! Just like the previous recipe, you can even include other CNY treats such as pork floss and fried chicken or fish skin.
This is also perfect if you have any leftover fried rice or rice from the day before, because we all know fried rice tastes better when it’s left to chill in the fridge overnight!
Bak Kwa Porridge
If you’re feeling like you need a little cleanse from all the dense, flavourful Chinese New Year treats yet you still want a bit of flavour in your meals, bak kwa porridge is just the thing for you.
It really is just adding bak kwa to your porridge, and the sweet, tangy meat will definitely add to the warm, comforting porridge in your bowl! You could even skip the seasoning with the strong flavours brought about by the bak kwa.

Bak Kwa Deviled Eggs
Pile on that protein by sprinkling cut-up bak kwa all over your deviled eggs!

Of course, if you just want a quick bite with no fuss, you can also do this with regular hard-boiled eggs, making bite-size mouthfuls of goodness.
Or any eggs in general – omelette, soft-boiled, scrambled. If you can name it, you can put bak kwa in it. In fact, bak kwa scrambled eggs might just even sound like a better breakfast than bak kwa bread.
