Schezwan fried rice is an easy and perfect Chinese dish for lunch or dinner with minimal ingredients. Now, you can bring home your favorite Chinese restaurant quickly.
This spicy Schezwan fried rice is one of our favorite rice we order from our Chinese restaurants as it is spicy to meet our Indian taste buds. Like Szechuan noodles, this rice is also one of the most essential dishes I frequently make at home when we go for Chinese menus.
This recipe is significantly easier to make; all you need is the Schezwan sauce. there are tons of readymade brands available in the market. You can store the leftovers in refrigeration for later use.
Or you may also use this homemade Szechuan sauce. Making this sauce at home requires a few ingredients you may have in your kitchen already.
I always try to share more effortless recipes; this fried rice is one of a kind. To put the process in a more straightforward and single line, saute garlic and vegetables and add rice and sauce. Mix and serve. And how easy is this right?
Hibachi Soup would be the best recipe to pair up with.
Pro Tips
- You may use your favorite rice for making this Schezwan fried rice. My personal choices are Basmati rice, Jasmine rice, sticky or Sushi rice, etc.,
- The choice of vegetables can be cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, string beans, green peas, etc.
- You may use ready-made or homemade Szechuan sauce.
- To make perfect fried rice, refrigerate the rice for about 2-3 hours before making fried rice. The better and easier option would be to cook the rice and chill it on the previous day. Which also cuts down half of the processing time in a day.
- The vegetable should not be cooked thoroughly; it has to be sauteed in high heat to make it crisp.
In contrast to this spicy rice variety, you may also try Kashmiri Pulao if you are searching for other exotic recipes for lunch.
