Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Fried Rice:
Cooked, day-old rice (white or jasmine rice works best)
Chicken breast or thighs, diced
Garlic and ginger (fresh, for best flavor)
Mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, bell peppers)
Soy sauce
Sesame oil or neutral oil for stir-frying
Green onions for garnish
Eggs (optional, for extra richness and protein)
For the Bang Bang Sauce:
Mayonnaise
Thai sweet chili sauce
Sriracha or hot sauce
Honey or rice vinegar (optional, for balance)
How to Make Bang Bang Chicken Fried Rice
1. Prepare the Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together mayo, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and a touch of honey or vinegar. Adjust spice level to taste and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok. Add diced chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté Veggies and Rice
In the same pan, sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the vegetables and cook until tender-crisp. Push to the side, scramble the egg (if using), then stir in the rice and combine everything well.
4. Add Sauce and Chicken
Return the cooked chicken to the pan, then pour in the bang bang sauce. Stir-fry everything together until the rice is coated, hot, and slightly caramelized on the bottom.
5. Garnish and Serve
Top with chopped green onions, a drizzle of extra bang bang sauce, or even sesame seeds for added crunch. Serve hot and watch it disappear!
