Ingredients

Scale

Rice

  • 2 cups cooked white rice (preferably day-old)

Eggs

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Vegetables

  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., diced carrots, peas, bell peppers)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Bang Bang Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Make sure your cooked rice is cold and separated to avoid clumping. Beat the eggs in a small bowl and finely chop the vegetables and aromatics.
  2. Scramble the eggs: Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just cooked. Remove eggs from the pan and set aside.
  3. Cook the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add onions and garlic, sauté until fragrant. Then add the mixed vegetables and cook until tender but still crisp.
  4. Combine rice and eggs: Add the cooked rice to the skillet with vegetables, stir-frying to combine. Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and mix everything evenly while heating through.
  5. Add bang bang sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, honey, rice vinegar, and salt to make the bang bang sauce. Pour the sauce over the fried rice mixture and toss well to coat all the ingredients thoroughly.
  6. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm as a main dish or side.

Notes

  • Use day-old rice for best texture; freshly cooked rice can be too moist and sticky for frying.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha in the bang bang sauce to control the heat level.
  • Feel free to add protein like shrimp or chicken for a heartier meal.
  • Vegetables can be customized based on your preference or what you have on hand.
