It's fairly quick to fix an Indo-Chinese dinner, especially if your guests like this cuisine. You can have a variety of dishes which hardly take much cooking time. I think I spend more time chopping up the vegetables than actually cooking the dish. This recipe for schezwan rice is long overdue. So let's get straight to it!
You will need:
3 cups cooked rice
¾ cup of diced carrots, beans and peas
¾ cup of leeks/spring onions
Ajinomoto – optional
Schezwan sauce – see recipe here
Salt, pepper
Colour – optional
Note: I do not use colour or msg in my recipes
Blanch the carrots, beans and peas. Heat oil and butter in a pan. Stir fry the vegetables for 2 minutes. Add the rice, schezwan sauce, salt, pepper, colour, ajinomoto and leeks/ spring onions and stir fry. Garnish with leeks/spring onions. Serve with Chilli chicken or Manchurian.

Hi Jyothsna,
Thanks for visiting my blog! :) I love Chinese-style fried rice, too, but find myself having to use lots and lots of oil to get the separate grains, they way they do it in Chinese restaurants.
your chilli chicken looks sensational, by the way!

Hi Jyothsna! Thanks for visiting my blog. Nice blog you've got here.
Hey i had left a comment here, but guess got lost in blogosphere :)
The Rice looks tempting. Do you make the sauce too ? I have always used a store bought one, let me check yours now
Hey Jyothsna, Indo-Chinese is my favorite, and yours is too "authentic" (if I can use that word for any indo-chinese dish at all :D),with the sauce from scratch and all. Will definitely try this dish.

I like you recipe for Schezwan rice and the fact that you prepare your own sauce. Its always so much better than the store bought ones..:). What makes it even more appealing is there is no use of color or msg!
i make a simple fried rice and so ur schewan versio is a great change. will be trying it soon.do u really need to blanch the veggies? i stir fry as is. also finally a homemade sauce!
great rice dish...looks wonderful...thanks for sharing...
Sailaja - Yeah, we do like Chinese:) With a home-made sauce, the use of oil can be cut down, can also avoid msg and colour.
Shaheen - Blanching the vegs reduces use of oil while stir frying. Yeah, the home made sauce is far better than the ones I've bought!:)
Dilipji - Thankyou for your kind words! :)
