Indo Chinese Schezwan Egg Fried Rice

Spicy Indo Chinese Schezwan Egg Fried Rice is a delicious Chinese style spicy rice preparation which is very easy to make at home. Here is how to make it.

Indo Chinese is one of the most popular cuisines in India when it comes to Continental food.

Well, you must be thinking why it is named as Indo Chinese and not Chinese?

It is because the Chinese food is modified to suit the taste palate of Indians, and thus the name. 

And one of my most favorite recipes that belongs to this cuisine is this, Indo Chinese Schezwan Egg Fried Rice.

Just a simple stir fry of rice, veggies, and egg, this is just perfect for your lazy weekday dinners. 

Apart from my weekday dinners, I also make and serve it as a side dish whenever Indo Chinese is on the menu for my weekend brunch.

It is simple yet filled with so many flavors, that you will make this rice recipe again and again. 

The key ingredient that adds a lot of taste in this recipe is Schezwan Sauce.

If you want it to taste the best, always make the sauce at home.

It adds that beautiful freshness along with the spicy taste. But if you are short on time, you can even use the store-bought sauce. 

So, what are you waiting for?
