Schezwan Fried Rice, an Indo-Chinese cuisine is a type of Rice dish which we can prepare from Schezwan Sauce. It is the main ingredient because we mix it with boiled rice along with various chopped vegetables to make Schezwan Fried Rice. It is one of the popular dishes which we usually see in the restaurant menus. The process of making Schezwan Fried Rice is similar to other fried rice. The only addition to this fried rice is the use of Schezwan Sauce or readymade Schezwan Fried Rice Masala. Addition of Schezwan sauce makes the taste of the rice somewhat different and unique. Here I have used Schezwan Fried Rice Masala instead of Schezwan Sauce to make Schezwan Fried Rice.

Schezwan Fried Rice is easy and quick to make. It hardly takes 15 minutes if you have pre-boiled rice and the vegetables already chopped. Preparing the vegetables takes lot of time. However with the help of chopper, the task becomes easy. After all the vegetables are chopped and the rice is cooked, the next step is to fry the vegetables. Once we fry the veggies, add rice and Schezwan sauce. Mix them and then cook for few minutes before switching off the stove.

To make fluffy rice, do not cook it completely. Cook it partially. Cook it such that all the rice grains remains separated from each other. To keep the rice separated from each other, gently rinse the rice with water after boiling it. Besides that, to make a delicious and tasty Schezwan Fried Rice, the quantity of the masala should be appropriate. The amount of masala can be varied because the variation in masala changes the spiciness and taste of it. If you love spicy food, you can add more masala to the rice.

Serve Hot Schezwan Rice with Manchurian such as Paneer Manchurian, Veg Manchurian, Mushroom Manchurian, etc. or with Chilli Paneer.

Notes:

1. While cooking the rice in the pot, do not cover it with lid. Cook in open pot.

2. The Rice should not be overcooked or else the rice grains will stick to each other and will not be separated. Wash the boiled rice if it sticks.

3. If you want spicy Schezwan Fried Rice, add more Schezwan Masala to the rice.

4. While cooking the vegetables, salt must be added as per requirement since we have already added while cooking the rice.

5. I have added a number of veggies. You can add as per your requirement and can skip any of these ingredients if you wish to.

6. Ginger Garlic paste can be used if you don’t like chopped Ginger & Garlic.
