Instructions
Make the Yum Yum Sauce:
Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, sriracha, paprika, mirin, and garlic powder in a bowl.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat olive oil and butter in a wok or Dutch oven over high heat.
Add diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–6 minutes until cooked through.
Stir in soy sauce, hoisin sauce, mirin, garlic, and honey. Cook until sauce thickens to desired consistency. Set chicken aside.
Sauté the Vegetables:
In the same pan, add olive oil and butter.
Once melted, add onion, mushrooms, and zucchini.
Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add soy sauce and continue cooking until vegetables are softened to your liking.
Make the Fried Rice:
In a clean wok or skillet over high heat, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
Add rice, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Stir-fry until rice is heated through.
Make a well in the center, crack in eggs, and scramble until nearly set.
Stir in peas and cook until heated through.
Assemble and Serve:
Serve the chicken over fried rice, alongside vegetables. Drizzle with Yum Yum sauce or serve on the side.
