Creating Bang Bang Fried Rice is simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Prepare Rice: If using freshly cooked rice, spread it on a baking sheet to cool and dry out slightly. Day-old rice works best for fried rice.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the mixed vegetables and red bell pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
5. Scramble Eggs: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side and scramble until fully cooked.
6. Combine Rice: Add the cooled rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Mix everything together.
7. Add Sauces: Pour in the soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, Sriracha, and sesame oil. Stir to combine thoroughly, ensuring the rice is evenly coated.
8. Season: Taste the fried rice and season with salt and pepper if needed. Adjust the spice level by adding more Sriracha if desired.
9. Garnish: Remove from heat, and fold in the sliced green onions and fresh cilantro for added flavor.
10. Serve: Transfer the Bang Bang Fried Rice to serving bowls and garnish with lime wedges for a refreshing touch.
