Chicken Teriyaki Stir Fry with a Giant Rice Tower

We have not had stir fry with rice in quite a while so today we got our fix. I made the teriyaki sauce with the recipe on a separate post found here. Once I began plating the stir fry, I was looking for a mold for the rice. Elijah came in the kitchen, saw what I was doing, and wanted it to be a big mold. I used a mug and rubbed the inside with oil to ensure the rice did not stick. Elijah was all giddy with excitement when he saw how large the rice tower was. It reminded me of the Tower of Isengard in the Lord of the Rings. In this stir fry I used chicken, onions, peppers, fennel, baby corn (the kid’s favourite) and water chestnuts (oh how I love water chestnuts). You can substitute the meat and veggies with almost countless variations!

  • The giant rice tower is just the right size for my hungry husband. lol. What a great stir fry recipes. I eat stir fry at least once a week at the house so I’m always looking for new ways to flavor it. I’ll certainly try this!

  • I love chicken stir fry…this looks really delicious. And I’ve used a ramekin to mold rice before…but it wasn’t nearly as cool as your amazing rice tower! Your son had a great idea there! ;- )

  • This brought to mind thoughts of Orcs, which is never a good thing when dining, but it sure looks (and tasted) delicious!

  • I made stir fry for dinner tonight, but I would have liked your recipe better!

    Yes, I’ve made tassies with cream cheese crusts, but not in a long time. That is a great suggestion for mini tarts–thanks!
