Here’s a flavorful recipe for Bang Bang Chicken Fried Rice that combines tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and a spicy, creamy sauce for a delicious meal!

Ingredients:

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

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

For the Fried Rice:

• 2 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old rice for best texture)
• 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, diced
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (divided)
• 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as peas, carrots, and corn)
• 3 green onions, chopped (white and green parts separated)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce:

   • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth. Set aside.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Stir-Fry the Vegetables:

   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender.

4. Add the Rice and Eggs:

   • Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until fully cooked.
   • Add the cooked rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps. Stir everything together, mixing the rice with the vegetables and eggs.

5. Combine Everything:

   • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the Bang Bang sauce. Stir well to combine all the ingredients and heat through, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

6. Serve:

   • Remove from heat and garnish with the green parts of the chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot.
