This sriracha fried rice is great for dinner or as a meal prep. It takes next to no time to cook this up and it reheats really well!
It’s adjustable. If you’re not a big fan of heat, add less sriracha. If you have leftover carrots or bell peppers, add that instead!

Growing up, this was a budget recipe for us because it can easily use up leftovers and the base ingredients (rice, egg, sauce) is readily available.

Ingredients for Fried Rice

soy sauce – I usually try to use low sodium soy sauce.
oyster sauce – don’t worry, while it’s made from oyster extract, it doesn’t taste like oysters!
sesame oil – I prefer roasted sesame oil but pure sesame oil works as well.
sriracha
eggs
olive oil or butter
salt
onion
garlic
peas – I use frozen peas
shredded chicken (breasts)
cooked rice – chilled from the fridge.
green onions

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. Whisk to combine and set aside.
In a large non-stick pan or a wok on medium heat, add olive oil and add in the beaten eggs. Season with salt and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon throughout to scramble it. Set it aside.
In the same pan or wok, add more olive oil and diced onions. Saute for 1-2 minutes until it has soften and add in the garlic. Cook until fragrant.
Add in the rice and coat with the sauce you made earlier. Stir fry until all the rice is coated. This is where I like to do a taste test and see if more sriracha is needed or if it’s hot enough for my taste.
Add in the frozen peas and stir until well combined, the heat from the rice will cook the peas.
Add in the shredded chicken and the scrambled eggs from earlier and stir to combine.
Serve with some more sriracha on top if you’d like with a handful of sliced green onions.
