  3. In the same skillet, scramble the beaten eggs until just set, then remove and keep with the chicken.
  4. Add a touch more oil if needed, toss in diced carrots and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, then add green peas and cook for another minute.
  5. Add cold cooked rice to the pan, stir-fry on high heat for about 3-4 minutes until crispy.
  6. Return cooked chicken and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Pour in soy sauce, mixing thoroughly.
  7. Drizzle the Bang Bang sauce over the rice mixture and stir until evenly coated.
  8. Serve hot, topped with chopped green onions.
