Very little in cupboard as hungry (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dash

'very little' is the definition.

'in cupboard as hungry' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'DASH' can be found hidden inside 'cupboard as hungry'.

(Other definitions for dash that I've seen before include "- - ; panache" , "Sudden quick run" , "Hurry ("must ____!")" , "Confound - verve" , "Rush - elan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
