Description
A delightful dish combining tender chicken, fluffy jasmine rice, and vibrant veggies, all coated in a creamy, spicy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups cold cooked jasmine rice
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Sear the chicken: Start by heating 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the diced chicken, sautéing until it becomes golden brown and cooked through—about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Scramble the eggs: In the same pan, crack in your eggs. Scramble gently until just set, then remove and set aside alongside the chicken.
- Sauté the veggies: Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and toss in the frozen peas and diced carrots. Sauté until just tender—approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Integrate the rice: Once the vegetables are cooked, add the cold rice to the skillet. Break up any clumps with your spatula and stir-fry to allow some grains to crisp slightly on the pan’s bottom, creating a lovely texture.
- Combine chicken and eggs: Return the cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the skillet, mixing everything together.
- Make the sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce until smooth.
- Mix it all together: Pour the sauce over the rice mixture and stir everything until evenly coated. Continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Finish and serve: Finally, garnish with sliced green onions. Serve your Bang Bang Fried Rice hot for an unforgettable experience.
Notes
Use day-old rice for the best texture. Customize by adding shrimp or tofu as protein alternatives.
