My pal James love Sriracha sauce and I’m pretty sure he’s tried it on nearly every food.

The hot chilli sauce from Thailand is made from sun-ripened chillis and, according to Tesco.com, is “ready to use with roasted or cold cut meat, kebab or just add to give your favorite dish a sizzling kick.”

Mmmmm kebab.

Anyway, James has been banging on about it for long enough so I decided that it was time to get a bottle of the red stuff and incorporate it into a recipe.

A small portion of my Sriracha fried rice would make a great side dish for a homemade “fakeaway” – but I’ve added lots of chicken and these portions are decent making it ideal for lunch or dinner.
As always, I’m all about cooking in batches and then freezing / reheating and this recipe passes those tests. Just add a splash of water before popping it in the microwave and stir well.

Yields4 Servings

 600 g chicken breast, diced
 1 clove of garlic, grated
 1 cm piece of ginger, grated
 3 tbsp Sriracha sauce
 3 tbsp light soy sauce
 75 g chestnut mushrooms, finely chopped
 75 g frozen peas
 3 spring onions, finely chopped
 200 g easy cook rice (uncooked weight)
 2 large eggs

1

Boil the rice according to the packet instructions, drain and allow to cool - ideally overnight in the fridge.

2

Spray some 1 calorie oil in a large pan or wok and seal the chicken.

3

Add the garlic and ginger and stir fry for a couple of minutes.

4

Add the mushrooms, peas and 2/3 of the spring onions and continue to stir fry for 2-3 minutes

5

Tip in the rice and keep everything in the pan moving as the ingredients heat through.

6

Stir in the soy sauce and most of the Sriracha sauce, leaving some to pour on top at the end.

7

In a separate pan, make a 2 egg omelette. Remove from the pan and dice into small pieces. Add the egg to the fried rice mix.

8

When everything is piping hot, serve in bowls with the remaining spring onions and Sriracha sauce.
