Schezwan Fried Rice is probably the easiest food to cook if you're craving restaurant-style comfort food on a cold winter night. Don't shell out hundreds of rupees on takeaway, make your own batch today!

Ingredients for one bowl:

  • Oil
  • Ginger Garlic Paste
  • Capsicum
  • Spring Onions
  • Bell Peppers
  • Chillies
  • Onions
  • Tomato
  • Coriander Leaves
  • Schezwan Sauce/Chutney
  • Soy Sauce
  • Salt
  • Rice

Steps:
  1. Cook your rice and set aside.
  2. Chop your vegetables (1 small onion, 1 small tomato, 1 bell pepper, 1 capsicum, spring onions, 2 chillies, french beans, coriander leaves). All vegetables subject to availability. For all I care, you could make this dish without veggies too. 
  3. Heat 4-5 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick pan.
  4. Add 1-2 chillies and one teaspoon of ginger garlic paste. Careful, for it might splatter.
  5. Cook this for 30 seconds to 1 minute on high flame, until the raw smell of the paste is gone.
  6. Add the chopped vegetables and saute until cooked on a medium-high or a high flame. This might take a while.
  7. Turn down the flame to the sim/low setting. Add one tablespoon of schezwan sauce and one tablespoon of soya sauce.
  8. Add salt to taste.
  9. Add the rice to this sauce/vegetable mix. Mix well for a minute or two. 
  10. Turn the heat off. Add a couple chopped coriander leaves.
  11. Plate and serve.
Voila! Super-easy yet very flavorful schezwan fried rice to die for!
