▪︎Preheat a Belgian waffle maker spray it with nonstick spray.
▪︎In large bowl, stir together oil, buttermilk and eggs mashed potatoes, scallions, ham and cheese until well combined. Stir in flour, baking powder and baking soda and any seasoning you desire. I used a sprinkle of cajun and some black pepper.

Super inexpensive takeout fakeout that uses up veggies in the crisper drawer. The veggies I already had and Im happy to use them.. The kung Pao...Its only 5.99 friends!!!!! My giant bag of jasmine rice is cents a serving and I always make extra for fried rice later in the week.
Trader Joes frozen kung pao chicken for the win!!
To reduce the sodium, I use half the sauce. I add their tiny bag of frozen peppers and onions along with lots of my own veggies. Scallions , broccoli, cabbage, snowpeas, carrots and a yellow bell pepper. I serve over steamed Jasmine rice. I think its as delish as my favorite takeout place Fu-sing. This serves 5 to 6 very generous portions with all I added. This is about the same as 2 fu-sing orders so around 30 bucks there compared to my 6-8 dollar dinner for my family.
