Notes

  • Use brown rice, basmati rice, microwave rice, or leftover rice. Warm the rice before adding it to the bag. Use hot rice so the sauce coats everything smoothly. Cold rice can clump and make the sauce sit on the outside.
  • Add shredded carrots, cucumber, edamame, steamed broccoli, or sautéed cabbage after mixing if you want more veggies.
  • Use crushed wonton strips or toasted panko instead of crispy fried onions.
  • Add a fried egg, soft-boiled egg, or jammy egg on top to make it more filling.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • If the rice tastes bland, it probably needs more soy sauce or lime. Add a small amount, mix again, then taste before adding more.
  • If the bag has a hole or feels weak, transfer everything to a large zip-top bag. Don’t try to shake a torn rotisserie bag.
  • Use both white meat and dark meat for the best texture. The breast keeps the recipe lean, and the thigh meat adds more moisture.
  • Don’t skip the rice vinegar or lime. The chicken, sesame oil, chili crisp, and crispy onions need a little brightness.
