  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
    • For the Chicken:
    • 1½ lbs boneless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
    • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
    • 1/2 cup cornstarch
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

 

    • For the Bang Bang Sauce:
    • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
    • 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
    • 1 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
    • 1 tbsp honey
    • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

 

  • For the Fried Rice:
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine rice (cold, day-old rice works best)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Toss cubed chicken with cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
  2. Make the Sauce: Whisk mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, honey, and vinegar until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Scramble the Eggs: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add eggs and scramble just until set. Remove and set aside.
  4. Cook Veggies: Add another tbsp oil to the same pan. Cook carrots for 2–3 mins, then add peas and cook 1 more minute.
  5. Fry the Rice: Add cold rice, break it up, and fry for 4–5 mins until heated and crispy. Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil.
  6. Combine: Add scrambled eggs and green onions to rice. Toss in chicken and drizzle sauce over top. Stir gently to coat.
  7. Serve: Plate and top with extra sauce, sesame seeds, or lime if desired. Serve hot!

Notes

  • Day-old rice gives best texture for frying.
  • Adjust the Sriracha level based on heat preference.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
