#11 Stir Fry & Company

I took it upon myself to enhance the esthetic’s of my food photography.  I love to look at photographed food, and instantly start drooling.  Thus, I did a bit of research, and decided to take the term “culinary arts” literally.  What do you think?

Now, on to tonight’s meal.  I finally made a stir fry!  (*jump for joy*).  However, I wanted to take an ordinary stir fry and fire it up.  As you can see, all the ingredients came from either the salad bar or grill station-with the exception of white rice which I scavenged from the global cafe.  Who knew 8 simple ingredients could do one wonders?  The first bite was salty, sweet, hearty, and full of texture.  Not to mention I had a blast fiddling with the aesthetic presentation, (Iron Chef America taught me well).  

Note:  My friend Rosalie microwaves a spoonful of peanut butter for 30 seconds and adds it to her stir fry.  I tried this the other night and it tasted DELICIOUS.  The sweet and salty PB complemented the stir fry perfectly, (this is essentially a d-hall twist on the asian fusion “peanut sauce”).  If you want a more authentic peanut sauce, mix microwaved peanut butter and soy sauce together (1:1 ratio).

Enjoy!
