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!
