Do you ever get tired of eating the same meals over and over again? Our family can only eat ground beef tacos so many times each month. Things needed to be changed up a bit, and that change resulted in this DELICIOUS recipe! I am so excited to share this recipe with you!!
The Ingredient That Will Make or Break Your Recipes
The star of the show in this recipe is Blue Plate Mayonnaise. Did you know that it was Voted #1 Mayonnaise by Epicurious ? It's that good!
Mayonnaise can make or break a recipe. In one of our many moves, I remember running to a store I had never been in before and grabbed the first mayo I saw. I didn't look at the brand, just grabbed and ran. As we were eating dinner that night, my husband and I just looked at each other mid-bite. Our favorite meal, the one that was our staple comfort food in times of uncertainty and newness, tasted unfamiliar and almost inedible. After looking at the dates on the ingredients, we realized that the culprit was the mayo.
Not all mayos are created equally.
Don't be like me. Make sure when you grocery shop for your ingredients to make this delicious chicken bowl you buy Blue Plate Mayonnaise. You'll be glad you did!

Instructions to Cook Vietnamese Chicken Rice Bowl with Homemade Sriracha Mayo:
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

- In a medium-sized pot, bring the water and pinch of salt to a boil. Add the jasmine rice, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and add the butter and lime zest.
- Stir to combine and set aside, covered, until ready to plate.
