Pretty good stir-fry. Brown rice is really good in it. Makes a more realistic 6 cups.
Chicken Fried Rice with Bok Choy
Use cold rice because it retains its shape and stays separate, so each grain will be evenly coated with the seasonings. You can also use long-grain brown rice, or a combination of white and brown. If you can't find baby bok choy, substitute 6 cups coarsely chopped regular bok choy.
