# Steps to Make It:
01 -
Toss the cooked chicken with 120 ml of Bang-Bang sauce. Scoop the fried rice onto plates, pile the chicken on top, drizzle with the rest of the sauce, and sprinkle on more green onions if you like.
02 -
Add in the scrambled eggs, melted butter, soy sauce, peas, and lemon juice. Stir it all together gently and keep cooking for another 2–3 minutes till everything's hot and combined.
03 -
Now, dump in your cooled rice. Break it up with a spoon or spatula, then stir it into the veggies. Fry for 2–3 minutes, stirring now and then till it's fully heated through.
04 -
Lower the heat to medium-high, pour in the rest of your sesame oil, then add onions, carrots, and green onions. Stir and cook for around 5 minutes until the carrots are tender. Mix in the garlic, cook for another minute.
05 -
Heat up 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over high. Pour in the beaten eggs, sprinkle with salt, and cook them gently till they're just set and still soft. Slide them off the pan and set aside.
06 -
Toss the chicken pieces with the oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until coated. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Spread chicken in one layer and cook for 11–12 minutes, flipping them halfway. The chicken should be browned on the outside and fully cooked (internal temp 74°C). Keep it warm in a covered bowl.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Let your rice chill for at least an hour. Cold rice doesn’t get sticky and fries way better.
