Ingredients

Scale

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 chicken breast, diced
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/3 cup green peas
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oil (plus more as needed)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar. Mix well and set aside to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken breast, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and thoroughly cooked. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In the same pan, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them gently until just set. Remove and set aside with the chicken.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: Add a little more oil if needed, then sauté diced carrots and minced garlic for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Stir in green peas and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Add and Crisp Rice: Add cold, day-old rice to the pan. Stir-fry on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, breaking up any clumps, and allowing the rice to develop a slight crisp texture.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs into the pan. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly. Add soy sauce and mix thoroughly to distribute the flavor.
  7. Incorporate Bang Bang Sauce: Pour the prepared bang bang sauce over the rice mixture. Stir continuously until the sauce coats everything evenly and the dish is heated through.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve hot for a delicious, spicy fried rice meal.

Notes

  • Using day-old rice helps prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy by reducing moisture content.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the bang bang sauce to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • You can substitute chicken with shrimp, tofu, or other proteins as desired.
  • For a gluten-free version, be sure to use gluten-free soy sauce.
  • Leftover fried rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
