Schezwan Fried Rice

Schezwan Fried rice is made by tossing cooked rice / steamed rice with Schezwan sauce along with vegetables or chicken or sea food. It is a Indo - Chinese dish which is very easy to prepare and can be made in jiffy for the week day meal. It is full of flavours and spicy. You can toss your favourite vegetables / store bought left over chicken. You can just add scrambled eggs and it tastes delicious.

I made Chilli paneer to go along with Schezwan fried rice. Since I used a lot of vegetable in chilli paneer, I made this Schezwan rice plain. For making Schezwan fried rice, we need Schezwan sauce. I have posted recipe for homemade Schezwan sauce. You can use store bought Schezwan sauce.
