Ingredients

Scale

Rice and Protein

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 chicken breast, diced
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/3 cup green peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sauce and Seasonings

  • 2 to 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oil (plus more as needed)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar. Mix thoroughly until smooth and set aside for later use.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until the chicken is browned on the outside and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: In the same pan, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them gently over medium heat until just set. Remove the eggs and set aside with the chicken.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: Add a little more oil to the pan if needed. Sauté the diced carrots and minced garlic for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in the green peas and cook for an additional minute to warm through.
  5. Fry the Rice: Add the cold, cooked rice to the pan with the vegetables. Stir-fry on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, breaking apart any clumps of rice. Allow the rice to crisp slightly for texture.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Stir to combine evenly with the rice and vegetables. Drizzle the soy sauce over the mixture and stir well to distribute the seasoning.
  7. Add Bang Bang Sauce: Pour the prepared bang bang sauce over the entire rice mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well coated and heated through evenly.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions on top of the fried rice. Serve the dish hot as a delicious and spicy meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use day-old rice as it helps prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy.
  • Adjust the Sriracha quantity to control the spiciness of the bang bang sauce to your preference.
  • You can substitute chicken breast with tofu or shrimp for different protein options.
  • Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned wok to prevent sticking while stir-frying.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
