Bang Bang Fried Rice is a vibrant and flavorful dish combining spicy, creamy sauce with savory fried rice for a quick and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tsp sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha to make the Bang Bang sauce. Set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add chopped shrimp and cook for 2 minutes until pink and heated through.
  5. Stir in peas and carrots, cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. Add cooked rice, scrambled eggs, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir-fry everything together for 3-4 minutes until well combined and heated through.
  7. Turn off the heat and drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the fried rice. Gently fold it in to coat evenly.
  8. Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace shrimp with tofu or extra vegetables, and adjust the sauce to your taste.
