Schezwan Fried Rice is a popular Indo-Chinese dish made with cooked rice and a variety of vegetables tossed in a mix of piquant and spicy sauces.
This stir-fried recipe is quite tasty and comes together in a flash if you have some pre-cooked rice on hand; simply mix everything together and you're ready to go. Although this is a vegetarian recipe, you can add any protein of your choice. You can also customise it to your taste and add your choice of veggies or even eggs.

Variations of making fried rice
Since it is vegetarian, I have added only mixed veggies but you can add beaten eggs or shredded chicken pieces to the rice.
Equipment
To make the best Schezwan rice, use a wok if you have one.
Storage
Once it is cooled completely, store the fried rice in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge - this stays good for 2-3 days.
Reheat thoroughly before serving.
Top tip
Always use completely cooled rice or day-old prepared rice because the excess moisture in newly cooked rice causes the grains to cluster together. However, if you don't have any pre-cooked rice on hand, prepare the rice from scratch and spread it out on a tray or platter to dry for a couple of hours.
Cook the vegetables and rice on high heat at all times. This is the most important thing to remember while stir-frying anything whether it's vegetables or rice. Note that the high heat keeps the vegetables crisp and fresh.
As everything needs to be cooked on high heat, make sure you have all you need in advance including vegetables, rice, sauces and seasoning.
Notes
Adjust the sauces according to your taste.
