Ingredients

Fried Rice

3 cups cooked rice (day-old is best)
1 tbsp sesame seed oil
1 tbsp olive oil
1 red bell pepper (diced)
1/2 cup frozen peas (organic)
1 bunch green onions (organic, diced – about 4–5)
4 eggs (large, organic)
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 tsp pepper (or to taste)
1 lb chicken (grilled and diced, seasoned with just salt and pepper)

Bang Bang Sauce

1/2 cup mayo (I used Primal Kitchen, dairy-free + organic)
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (I used Whole Foods organic)
1 tbsp sriracha
1 tbsp honey (raw organic)
1 tbsp lime juice (fresh)

Instructions

1
Make the sauce: In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, mix together the mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, honey, and lime juice. Set aside.
2
Sauté the veggies: In a large wok or deep skillet, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add the red bell pepper and diced green onions, sauté for 1–2 minutes. Then add the peas and cook for another minute.
3
Add rice: Add the cooked rice and 1 tbsp olive oil (or more sesame oil if you love that flavor). Stir and let the rice crisp up for about 3–4 minutes.
4
Cook the eggs: Push the rice to the edges of the pan, creating a well in the center. Crack in the eggs and scramble them in the middle of the pan. Once cooked, mix the scrambled eggs into the rest of the rice.
5
Finish it off: Add the cooked chicken and about ¼ of the bang bang sauce. Mix well and heat everything through. Season with salt and pepper to taste if needed.
6
Serve: Spoon into bowls and top each serving with a drizzle of the remaining bang bang sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and more green onions if you'd like!

Please note that my nutrition label is approximate and can have slight rounding.

These macros are for the fried rice only. You will need to adjust depending on how much sauce you use. Just calculate the macros of the sauce and divide by the amount that you use!

Sauce Macros (ENTIRE RECIPE): 995 cals, 96g fat, 48g carbs, 0g protein. You will most likely have extra sauce! I like to make extra just in case:). If you used all the sauce it would add 200 calories per serving (5).
