Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 cups day-old, cold, cooked jasmine rice
  • thinly sliced beef (flank steak or sirloin, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • pinch of white pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch (or all-purpose flour)
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • neutral high-smoke-point oil (vegetable oil, canola oil, or avocado oil)
  • 1/2 cup good quality mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
  • 1–2 tablespoons Sriracha (or your favorite hot sauce)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • minced garlic
  • minced ginger
  • thawed frozen peas and carrots
  • corn kernels
  • finely diced bell peppers
  • green onions
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2–3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • pinch of white pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crispy Beef: Pat the thinly sliced beef completely dry with paper towels. Toss the beef with 1 tablespoon of low-sodium soy sauce and a pinch of white pepper. In a separate shallow dish, whisk one large egg. In another, combine about 1/2 cup of cornstarch with a pinch of salt and pepper. Dip each piece of beef first into the egg, then dredge thoroughly in the cornstarch mixture. Heat about 1 inch of neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully add the beef in a single layer and fry for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove the crispy beef with a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Set aside.
  2. Whip Up the Bang Bang Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha, 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon rice vinegar. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Fried Rice Base: Discard most of the oil from the skillet, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons. Heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add minced garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Toss in thawed peas and carrots, corn, and diced bell peppers. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp. Push the vegetables to one side of the pan. Crack the two eggs into the empty space and scramble them. Add the day-old cold rice to the pan, breaking up any clumps. Stir everything together and continue to stir-fry for 3-5 minutes. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over the rice. Sprinkle in a pinch of white pepper and stir well. Finally, stir in half of the chopped green onions.
  4. Combine and Serve: Gently fold the crispy beef into the fried rice. Portion the Bang Bang Fried Rice into bowls and drizzle generously with the Bang Bang sauce. Garnish with the remaining chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Keywords: Use cold, day-old rice for the best texture. Adjust the Bang Bang sauce to your taste by adding more Sriracha for heat or more honey for sweetness. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables.
