  3. In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Sriracha, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Adjust spice level as desired.
  4. In the skillet, add mixed vegetables and stir-fry until crisp-tender.
  5. Return cooked chicken to the skillet, add rice and Bang Bang sauce, stirring gently to coat and heat through.
  6. Serve in bowls, garnishing as desired with green onions, sesame seeds, or lime wedges.
