Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Bang Bang Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a medium bowl until smooth.
  2. Heat the Skillet: Place a large wok or non-stick skillet over high heat. Add oil and swirl to coat. Add chicken and mixed vegetables, stirring for even cooking.
  3. Cook the Chicken and Vegetables: Sauté for 3-5 minutes until heated and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Add the Day-Old Rice: Fold in cold, day-old rice, breaking clumps with a spatula. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until toasted.
  5. Combine with the Sauce: Pour sauce over the mixture and toss thoroughly for another 2 minutes until well-coated.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Serve hot, garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.
