That’s right we’re mixing it up. A few nights ago for dinner we combined Sriracha Fried Rice with Chorizo and Asian Marinated Fajitas. Asian and latin flavors collided and Ryan and I could not get enough of the leftovers. They were a match made in heaven! Simply delicious.
This fried rice uses Sriracha, which Ryan loves. It’s a spicy Thai hot sauce, very tasty…very tricky to spell and pronounce. Just one more reason that Ryan and I were made for each other: we both love spicy food. I mean burn-your-lips-off spicy. I feel bad for those we love, who come over for dinner. We try to tone it down, but it’s difficult (especially for me). I’d rather it be too spicy than bland.
Sriracha Fried Rice with Chorizo

Ingredients
[list style=”style6″]
[li]4 cups cooked rice (brown or white), cooled[/li]
[li]3 Tbsp. butter, melted[/li]
[li]9 oz. pork chorizo[/li]
[li]1 small onion, diced[/li]
[li]1 red red bell pepper, diced[/li]
[li]2 serrano peppers, thinly sliced[/li]
[li]5 cloves garlic, minced[/li]
[li]2 Tbsp. Sriracha[/li]
[li]1 1/2 Tbsp. sugar[/li]
[li]1 Tbsp. hot water[/li]
[li]3 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce[/li]
[li]1 Tbsp. sesame oil[/li]
[li]3 eggs[/li]
[li]green onions, sliced for garnish[/li]
[/list]
Directions
Cook brown rice using a rice cooker (or stovetop if you prefer). Put rice into a bowl and chill in the fridge (this can be done the night before). Once cool, stir melted butter into the rice and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together Sriracha, sugar, and hot water. Set aside.
In a wok or large skillet, cook chorizo over medium heat. Remove from wok and set aside. Add diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and saute until softened . Add in sliced serranos and minced garlic and saute another minute or so.
Add rice to the veggies in the wok. Pour the Sriracha mixture over the top and stir well. Stir fry for about 5 more minutes, or until rice starts to crisp up.
Crack the eggs into the rice and stir as the eggs scramble and cook. Cook for about 3 more minutes, stirring often. Stir in chorizo. Finish with soy sauce and sesame oil; stir well. Garnish with green onions and serve.
I am the world's biggest spice wuss. I do love thai curry, but most of the time I spend more of the meal gulping water than eating
Sounds delicious. Looks like a great spin on the traditionally asian fried rice!
Ohhhh goodness. This looks fabulous. The two heat loving men in my household are going to be swooning at the sight of this. I can't wait to make it. AND to browse through the rest of your recipes. I love your blog! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I guarantee they will love it!
Made this last night and it was awesome. This definitely goes into the filing box to make again. For the fried rice, when you say "In a small bowl, mix together Sriracha, sugar, and hot water," how much water do you typically add? I did about a tbsp (but halved the recipe), and although I LOVED the spiciness and flavor (I think it's because I'm pregnant), but husband's mouth was on fire. Just trying to figure out the proper ratio of sriracha/water. Thanks
Whoops! I didn't realize I left that out, sorry about that. It's fixed now. I used 1 Tbsp. hot water (for the full recipe). It sounds like your taste buds are as brave as ours. However, unless you want to punish your husband next time, I would cut the Sriracha amount in half and leave out the serranos. The rice will still have great flavor, but less heat. I'm so glad you liked it as much as we did!
Yum, sound Simply Delicioso!! I have to try this, I love stir fried rice, chorizo, fajitas…recipes after my own heart and tummy. Great job! Visiting from MIY Monday
This was exceptional! Eating this for the second day in a row and a cannot wait till tomorrow, what an easy delicious meal!
Yay, I'm so happy you liked it! That's what we loved about it – such amazing leftovers!
