Gourmet Asian Stir Fry (in under 30 minutes)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
• salt
• 2 Tablespoons Private Selection Signature Asian Rub (Available at King Soopers)
• You can also make your own rub by mixing the following ingredients:
• 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 Tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 Tablespoon sweet pepper flakes
• 3/4 Tablespoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 Tablespoon green chile pepper
• 2 teaspoons ground turmeric
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 cup frozen stir fry vegetables
• 1-2 Tablespoons soy sauce

Procedure:

1. Season whole chicken breast with salt and the Asian rub. Sear the chicken breast over medium-high heat in a lightly oiled skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side (or until browned). The chicken probably won't be cooked all the way through. Slice the chicken breast into strips and return to skillet.
2. Add stir fry vegetables and soy sauce to pan and cook, stirring regularly until the vegetables are cooked through.
3. To form the rice tower shown in the picture, pack rice into a 1 cup measuring cup or other smooth sided cup that can be used as a form. Invert the cup onto the serving plate and gently tap on cup until the rice comes free (a plastic or metal cup would probably work best). 
4. Arrange half of the stir fry mixture around the base of the rice and pour a small amount of the sauce formed in the pan onto the top.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the second serving.
6. Enjoy!
