Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss the chicken pieces in the mixture until evenly coated. Set aside for about 10 minutes.
  2. Fry the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken in a single layer and fry for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Make the Spicy Sauce: Whisk together mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, and sriracha in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust sriracha for spice level if desired.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Start with warm jasmine rice at the bottom of a bowl. Layer on crispy chicken, followed by shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, shredded carrots, and green onions.
  5. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle creamy spicy sauce over the assembled bowl and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately while warm.
