Notes
- Adjust the heat level by increasing or reducing the Schezwan sauce. For extra spice, add red pepper flakes. You can also add proteins like chicken, tofu, or shrimp for variety.
- Use chilled, leftover rice for the best results. When stir-fried, it holds its shape better and gives a crispy, crunchy texture. Cook vegetables on high heat until 70-80% done for a crisp bite.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals with a damp paper towel to prevent drying. Or sprinkle some water, toss with veggies, and stir-fry on high heat for a fresh taste.
