Schezwan fried rice recipe, originating from the Sichuan province of China, Schezuan cuisine is characterised by bold flavours, brought about by pungent ingredients like garlic and chillies.

Although the original Schezwan fried rice recipe uses special Sichuan peppers that have a lemony taste, in India Schezuan sauce is prepared using red chillies, vinegar and garlic, and it tastes quite authentic.

For those who love the lip-smacking fieriness of Schezuan cuisine, here is a quick and easy Schezwan fried rice made with long-grained rice, Schezuan sauce, capsicum and other flavourful ingredients.

Notes on Schezwan fried rice recipe. 1. To cook the Chinese long-grained rice for the Schezwan Fried Rice, wash 1 cup of long-grained rice thoroughly under running water until you get clear water. The removal of starch from rice helps in getting separate grains after cooking. 2. Cook on a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes or till the rice is 85% cooked, while stirring occasionally. It is very important to not fully cook the rice, it should be firm to bite. 3. Refresh the rice with cold water so the rice stops cooking further. Let all the water from the rice drain out ensuring that the rice does not contain any moisture. 4. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil. This helps in preventing the rice from sticking to each other. 5. Add the carrot and French beans. Make sure they are chopped really finely as we are not boiling or cooking them we are just sautéing them so when they are chopped finely so they not taste raw.

To make a heartier meal serve Schezwan fried rice with Kung Pao Vegetables , Corn Rolls and Stir Fry Noodles in Black Sauce.

Vinegar is used to balance the spice level with its sourness. If you wish, you can avoid it.
