Can I use fresh rice for Bang Bang Fried Rice?

You can, but cold day-old rice fries best. Fresh hot rice tends to clump and produce softer texture. Cool it in the fridge for at least an hour for better results.

What is bang bang sauce made of?

Classic bang bang sauce mixes mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Some versions use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter finish.

How do I keep the rice from getting soggy?

Use cold, separated grains and high heat. Add sauce at the end and avoid overcooking. Do not overload the pan.

Can I prep any parts ahead?

Yes. Cook rice and chicken ahead. Chop vegetables and mix the sauce. Combine and fry when ready to serve.
