Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 3 cups cold cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Divided
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup frozen peas and diced carrots
  • 2 medium green onions, sliced For garnish
Sauce ingredients
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise Use a good brand
  • 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce Can substitute with a mix of jam, chili flakes, and rice vinegar in a pinch
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha Adjust more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Method
 

Cooking the Chicken
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the diced chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
Scrambling the Eggs
  1. Crack the eggs into the same pan, scramble gently, and cook until just set. Remove and add to the cooked chicken.
Cooking Vegetables and Rice
  1. Add the remaining oil and sauté the peas and carrots until just tender.
  2. Add the cold rice to the pan and break up any clumps, letting it crisp slightly for texture.
  3. Return the chicken and eggs to the pan.
Adding the Sauce
  1. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Thai sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and soy sauce.
  2. Pour the sauce into the pan and stir everything until evenly coated and heated through.
  3. Finish with sliced green onions and serve hot.

Notes

Pro tip: Cold rice is better for frying to avoid mushiness. Let the rice get a little stuck to the pan for added flavor.
