Instructions

Cooking the Rice:

  • Take the rice and rinse it in running water so that the starch from it is removed. Soak the rice in water for approx. 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, drain out the water from the rice and keep it aside.
  • Now heat 8 cups of water in a deep pot and allow it to come to gentle boil.
  • Add Salt and 1/2 teaspoon oil to the water.
  • Add the soaked and drained Rice to the boiling water. On medium or low heat, cook the rice until it is almost cooked.
  • Switch off the stove and strain out the rice from the water.
  • Gently rinse the rice with water so that the rice grains do not stick to each other.
  • Cover the rice and keep it aside.

Making Schezwan Fried Rice:

  • Heat Oil in a pan or kadai over medium heat.
  • Add Cumin Seeds to it. As soon it crackles, add Chopped Onion and Chilli.
  • Cook for a minute. Then add Chopped Garlic and Ginger. Saute it and cook for few seconds.
  • Add Chopped Tomatoes and Salt. Cook till the tomatoes become soft and tender. The quantity of salt must be added as required since we have already added it to the cooked rice.
  • Now add all the Chopped vegetables such as Carrot, French Beans, Spring Onion, Peas, Capsicum, Mushroom, Corn and Soya bean. Mix them and cook till the vegetables starts changing its colour.
  • Add the Schezwan Fried Rice Masala or Schezwan Sauce to the cooked vegetables. Saute it for few minutes.
  • Take the cooked Rice and add it to the fried veggies. Mix it properly so that all the Rice is completely coated with the masala. Cook for few more minutes.
  • Add Chopped Coriander Leaves and mix them. Switch off the stove.
  • Schezwan Fried Rice is ready to be served. Garnish it with few Spring Onions and Coriander Leaves.
  • Serve Schezwan Fried Rice plain or with Green Chutney and Curd or Boondi Raita or with any Chinese dish such as Manchurian.

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.
