Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast (Can substitute with shrimp or tofu)
  • 1/2 cup Cornstarch (Provides a crispy coating)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (Enhances flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (Adds subtle heat)
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder (Contributes depth of flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika (Adds color and mild smokiness)
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil (Essential for frying)
  • 2 cups Jasmine Rice (Can substitute with brown rice or quinoa)
  • 1 cup Shredded Lettuce (Adds fresh texture)
  • 1 cup Diced Cucumber (Provides refreshing crunch)
  • 1 cup Shredded Carrots (Adds sweetness and color)
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Green Onions (Adds sharpness and freshness)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (Optional for nutty finish)
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (Can use non-fat or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce (Key for sweetness and heat)
  • 12 tablespoons Sriracha (Adjust to taste for spice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice by cooking jasmine rice according to package instructions until fluffy.
  2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
  3. Toss the chicken pieces in a bowl with cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well coated.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, ensuring it is about half an inch deep.
  5. Fry the coated chicken pieces in batches for about 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  6. Mix the mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl to create the sauce.
  7. Assemble each bowl with jasmine rice, then top with shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and crispy chicken.
  8. Drizzle the sauce over the top and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider double-coating the chicken. Store leftovers separately to maintain crispiness.
