Rice and Eggs
- 3 cups cooked rice (preferably day-old, chilled)
- 2 large eggs
Vegetables
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (such as diced carrots, peas, and corn)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Bang Bang Sauce
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
- Prepare Sauce: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey until smooth to create the bang bang sauce. Set aside.
- Cook Eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Beat the eggs and scramble them in the skillet until just cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Stir-Fry Vegetables: Add remaining oil to the skillet and stir-fry the mixed vegetables for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp.
- Add Rice and Eggs: Add the cooked rice to the vegetables and stir well to combine. Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and mix evenly with the rice and vegetables.
- Add Sauce and Toss: Pour the prepared bang bang sauce over the rice mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly so the sauce coats all the ingredients evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
- Serve: Remove from heat, and serve the Bang Bang Fried Rice hot as a delicious and spicy main or side dish.
Notes
- For best texture, use day-old rice that has been chilled to prevent clumping during frying.
- You can customize the vegetables based on preference or availability, such as bell peppers, green beans, or broccoli.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the bang bang sauce to control the heat level.
- To make it vegetarian, ensure the sauce uses egg-free mayonnaise.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
