Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup cornstarch

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable oil for frying

2 cups cooked jasmine rice

1 cup shredded red cabbage

1 cup shredded carrots

½ cup edamame (shelled)

¼ cup green onions, sliced

¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped

For the Bang Bang Sauce:

½ cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust for spice preference)

1 teaspoon lime juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by slicing the chicken breasts into thin strips and season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

    Coat Chicken: Place the cornstarch in a shallow bowl. Dredge each chicken strip in the cornstarch until fully coated, shaking off any excess.

      Fry Chicken: Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken strips in batches. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

        Make Bang Bang Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and lime juice until well combined. Adjust the levels of sriracha based on your desired spiciness.

          Assemble the Bowl: In each serving bowl, start with a bed of jasmine rice. Top with fried chicken, followed by shredded cabbage, carrots, and edamame. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce generously over the top.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and fresh cilantro for brightness and flavor.
