Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken in the mixture until evenly coated. Let rest for about 10 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, turning halfway. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha. Adjust the sriracha according to your taste.
Start with a base of jasmine rice in a serving bowl, top with crispy chicken, and then add fresh vegetables.
Drizzle sauce over the bowl and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately.
