Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and rice vinegar. Mix until creamy and well-blended.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add neutral oil. Sear diced chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then remove and keep warm.
  3. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed and crack in beaten eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes until set, then remove and keep warm.
  4. Add diced carrots and minced garlic to the hot skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and carrots are tender-crisp.
  5. Stir in frozen peas and sauté for an additional minute until thawed.
  6. Add chilled cooked rice to the skillet, using a spatula to break apart clumps. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until heated through.
  7. Return the chicken and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Drizzle with soy sauce and mix gently.
  8. Pour the Bang Bang sauce over the fried rice and toss gently. Cook for an additional minute.
  9. Remove from heat, transfer to serving plates, and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
