Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar until smooth.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the diced chicken breast with salt and pepper, then add to the hot skillet. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Scramble Eggs: In the same skillet, add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring gently for 2-3 minutes until soft and creamy. Remove and set aside with chicken.
  4. Sauté Vegetables: Add more oil to the skillet, lower heat, and sauté diced carrots and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes. Stir in frozen peas and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Fry Rice: Raise heat to high, add the cold rice, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until heated and slightly crispy.
  6. Combine Ingredients: Return chicken and eggs to the skillet and drizzle with soy sauce. Stir together for a minute or two.
  7. Add Bang Bang Sauce: Drizzle the sauce over the mixture and toss gently to coat evenly.
  8. Garnish: Transfer to plates and top with sliced green onions. Serve hot.
