Ingredients

Protein and Veggies

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Rice

  • 3 cups cold cooked jasmine rice

Sauces and Oils

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 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 breast and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  2. Scramble the Eggs: In the same skillet, crack the eggs and scramble gently until just set, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the scrambled eggs and combine them with the cooked chicken.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet, then add the frozen peas and diced carrots. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, approximately 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Rice: Add the cold cooked jasmine rice to the skillet with the vegetables. Break up any clumps with your spatula and cook for 3-4 minutes until the rice crisps slightly, enhancing the texture.
  5. Combine Protein and Eggs: Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the skillet, mixing everything evenly with the rice and vegetables.
  6. Make the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce until smooth and well combined.
  7. Mix in Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the rice, chicken, eggs, and vegetables in the skillet. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat all ingredients, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle sliced green onions on top. Serve the Bang Bang Fried Rice hot for a delicious and satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For extra heat, increase the amount of sriracha to taste.
  • Use day-old chilled rice to prevent mushy fried rice.
  • Substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for variation.
  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or corn for more color and flavor.
  • Soy sauce can be replaced with tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • This dish is best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
