February 22, 2013 Roasted Chicken with stir fried Baby Bok Choy and mixed rice and Bulghar wheat

February 22, 2013 Roasted Chicken with stir fried Baby Bok Choy and mixed rice and Bulghar wheat

Another simple, easy meal.  Suzette brought home the largest roasted chicken I have seen in quite a while from the Greenhouse Bistro and Bakery around 7:30 p.m. because she stayed for the Marble Brewery beer tasting.
I cut up the last half of the bag of baby bok choy with three cloves of garlic and about 1 ½ Tbsp. of fresh ginger with two shallots.  I separated the leaves from the stalks and other hard vegetables and then threw a handful of brown beech mushrooms in with the stalks.
When Suzette arrived I started stir frying the stalk mixture in about 2 Tbsp. of peanut oil and Suzette heated up the PPI Bulghar wheat and rice in the microwave.  When the stalk mixture had softened (about ten minutes), I added a little Chinese rice cooking wine and about ½ tsp. of salt and ½ tsp. of sugar to the vegetables, tossed them a few times and covered them with a wok cover to steam a bit.  I did not add any soy sauce to the mixture to keep it from having a Chinese flavor, so it would complement the chicken better.
We cut the leg quarters off the chicken and heated them in the microwave.  After a couple of minutes when the vegetables were cooked and chicken and rice mixture hot, we plated up dishes and poured out the last of the Vouvray and ate our quick delicious meal.
Bon Appétit
