# Steps:

01 - In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, sriracha, paprika, mirin, and garlic powder until fully combined. Store chilled until serving.
02 - Heat olive oil and butter in a wok or Dutch oven over high heat. Add diced chicken thighs and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until chicken is no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
03 - Add soy sauce, hoisin, mirin, minced garlic, and honey to the pan. Stir to coat chicken and cook until sauce thickens to preference. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.
04 - In the same pan, add olive oil and butter. When butter melts, add onion, mushrooms, and sliced zucchini. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add soy sauce. Continue cooking, stirring, until vegetables have softened as desired.
05 - In a clean wok over high heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Stir in cooked rice, soy sauce, and oyster sauce. Cook until rice is heated through.
06 - Create a well in the centre of the rice and add eggs. Scramble eggs until just set, then mix through rice. Add frozen peas and stir until peas are warmed through.
07 - Portion the fried rice onto serving plates, top with sautéed vegetables and glazed chicken. Drizzle with prepared Yum Yum sauce as desired.

# Notes:

01 - For optimal results, prep all vegetables and sauces before cooking to ensure a seamless workflow.
