Ingredients
For the Fried Rice
- 3 cups cooked jasmine rice preferably day-old
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 cup cooked shrimp or diced chicken
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup mixed vegetables carrots, peas, and corn
- 3 green onions sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Bang Bang Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Bang Bang Sauce
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar.
- Taste the sauce and adjust the spice level if needed. Set it aside while you prepare the rice.
Step 2: Prepare the Pan
- Heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat until shimmering.
- Add the minced garlic and ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Cook the Eggs
- Push the garlic mixture slightly to the side and crack the eggs directly into the pan. Scramble them gently until just cooked.
Step 4: Add the Vegetables
- Add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. They should soften slightly but still keep some texture.
Step 5: Add the Rice
- Add the cooked rice to the pan. Break apart any clumps with your spatula so the grains stay fluffy.
- Stir-fry for about 3–4 minutes so the rice heats through and starts getting lightly toasted.
Step 6: Add Protein
- Add the cooked shrimp or chicken to the pan. Toss everything together so the ingredients are evenly mixed.
Step 7: Season the Rice
- Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Stir everything together so the rice absorbs the flavor.
Step 8: Add the Bang Bang Sauce
- Drizzle a few tablespoons of the bang bang sauce over the rice. Toss gently so the rice becomes lightly coated.
- You don’t want to drown the rice—just enough to give it that creamy, spicy flavor.
Step 9: Finish the Dish
- Add the sliced green onions and give everything one last toss.
- Taste and adjust with salt or extra sauce if needed.
- Serve hot and enjoy.
