Some important points to remember while cooking Schezwan fried rice:
-
The key to making the best veg fried rice is to stir-fry veggies continuously on high heat.
-
I have made it in a pan, but I would suggest you make it in a wok if you have one.
-
I have used chopped veggies here, but you can also shred or julienne your veggies.
-
Use long grain rice which is 90% boiled. (Almost cooked)
-
Use the cooked rice for best results. Leftover rice works great.
-
Making your own sauce is an excellent idea. It stays good for 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator. But you can also use store-bought ones.
-
It comes out as hot and spicy chili-garlic flavored rice with the unique blend of sauces. But if you want mildly flavored rice, then simply reduce the amount of Schezwan sauce to reduce the hotness.
-
You can easily pack this rice in lunch. Just make sure that you don’t cook veggies longer if you are packing this in lunch. Otherwise, veggies will turn soggy.
So let’s make this Veg Schezwan Fried Rice without wasting anytime.
