SCHEZWAN FRIED RICE

My daughter love different dishes made by using schezwan sauce……on a rainy day me too crave for the spicy schezwan cuisine. So made this schezwan fried rice for dinner. After making it, I realised that I have not posted schezwan rice recipe. So posting it today. For this recipe I used schezwan sauce which is also homemade and recipe is there in my blog. This fried rice is completely addictive, there is tons of flavours going around it. It has lots of garlic and ginger in it which gives a nice aroma to it and make it more tasty. Just do one thing. Keep tasting the rice and adjust the sauce level accordingly. Schezwan fried rice is very similar to usual fried rice recipe we make with the additional spicy schezwan flavour. 

This Indo-Chinese dish is very easy to make and very quick too. If you have leftover rice and schezwan sauce at home, then you can make this in a jiffy. If you don’t want to strain yourself making schezwan sauce at home, you can make it with store brought schezwan fried rice masala or schezwan sauce. Believe me, it tasted just like we get in restaurants. So here is the step-by-step recipe with pictures for Schezwan Fried rice. Do try it at home and enjoy…and do  not forget to share your experience with me.
