I was planning to make schezwan fried rice for a long time but was unable to find the authentic Chinese spices in stores which gives it the flavor. But One day while I was shopping I suddenly spot this ready-made spice mix of "Ching's Secret masala" (+Ching's Secret ) for schezwan fried rice!! & I thought why not give this packet a try & If there are any shortcomings in the taste then I can just add the required sauces and fulfill the taste.
Trust me friends I made the right decision. Always remember one thing, that schezwan fried rice should always be smoking hot and spicy, So cook it in high flame.
It's quick and easy to make! Do try it out :)
Ingredients:
- Vegetables -500 grams :
- Shredded cabbage
- 1 capsicum (or) green bell peppers
- 1 carrot (sliced)
- 1/2 a yellow bell pepper (chopped)
- One medium sized onion sliced
- 6-7 cloves of garlic
- 10 -12 frozen/fresh peas
- 2 cups of boiled rice
- Butter for fry
- 1 Tbsp of soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp of chilly sauce
- 2 Tbsp of tomato sauce.
- 1/2 a tsp of vinegar
- Salt and pepper According to your taste
- Scrambled eggs (for adding as a topping)
- Schezwan Fried Rice Masala mix packet (As in pic)
Method:
- Boil the rice and keep it aside. Then add 1 Tsp of oil in the cooked rice so that it does not get sticky.
- I have taken the ready-made schezwan masala (spice mix packet) and mixed the contents of the pack with vinegar to make the schezwan sauce and kept it aside.
- Heat 3 Tablespoons of butter or oil in a wok. First stir the chopped onions and garlic for a few minutes.Then add the shredded cabbage, carrot, bell peppers and peas.( I have used peas instead of chopped beans which is usually used).
- When the vegetables are adequately fried add the schezwan sauce along with soy sauce, chilly sauce and tomato sauce as mentioned in the ingredients.
- Mix the sauces thoroughly and add the cooked rice.
- Cook the dish in high flame to get a smoky and fried flavor. Now our fried rice is done
~Serve hot with freshly chopped spring onions on the top!~
