Ingredients

Scale

Proteins and Eggs

  • 1 chicken breast, diced
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Vegetables

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

Rice and Staples

  • 1 1/2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oil (plus more as needed)

Bang Bang Sauce

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In the same pan, add the beaten eggs and scramble them until just set. Remove and set aside with the cooked chicken.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: Add a drizzle of oil to the pan and sauté diced carrots and minced garlic for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the green peas and cook for another minute until heated through.
  5. Stir-Fry Rice: Add the cold, cooked rice to the pan. Stir-fry on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes, breaking up any clumps and allowing the rice to crisp slightly.
  6. Combine Chicken and Eggs: Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the pan with the rice and vegetables. Stir well to combine. Add soy sauce and mix evenly to distribute flavors.
  7. Add Bang Bang Sauce: Pour the prepared bang bang sauce over the rice mixture. Stir continuously until everything is well coated and 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

  • Use day-old rice for best texture and to prevent clumping during frying.
  • Adjust Sriracha quantity in the bang bang sauce to control spiciness level.
  • Feel free to substitute chicken breast with shrimp or tofu for variation.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
  • If preferred, use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium content.
