Ingredients

Protein

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 2 large eggs

Vegetables

  • 1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Rice

  • 3 cups cold cooked jasmine rice

Sauces & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (more to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. Scramble the eggs: Using the same pan, crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Gently scramble them and cook until just set, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the eggs and add them to the cooked chicken.
  3. Sauté the vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Sauté the frozen peas and diced carrots until they are just tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Crisp the rice: Add the cold jasmine rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Break up any clumps with the back of a spatula and let the rice crisp up slightly to add texture, cooking for about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Combine chicken and eggs: Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the skillet, mixing them evenly with the rice and vegetables.
  6. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce until smooth and well combined.
  7. Add the sauce and finish cooking: Pour the sauce mixture over the rice, chicken, and eggs in the skillet. Stir everything thoroughly to evenly coat all ingredients with the sauce. Continue cooking until the dish is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  8. Garnish and serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle sliced green onions evenly over the top. Serve the Bang Bang Fried Rice hot for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Always use cold, day-old rice to prevent the fried rice from becoming mushy and to achieve a crispy texture.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level to your preference.
  • You can substitute the chicken breast with tofu or shrimp for variation.
  • Mayonnaise in the sauce adds creaminess and balances the spicy and sweet flavors.
