It is a delicious combination of cooked rice, veggies, scrambled eggs and schezwan sauce. Make my schezwan sauce for the best taste, as it is

Serve it on its own for a light weekday meals or with a spicy Indo Chinese gravy or stir fry for your weekend brunch. It can be packed in kid’s lunch box as well.

It is also customisable! Feel free to add in veggies of your choice or adjust the sauces to make it according to your taste.

Ingredients

Rice – Leftover (1-2 days old) white rice gives you the best results when added in the fried rice. Incase you are making fresh rice, let it cook down fully or refrigerate it for a few hours before mixing in with other ingredients.

Any variety of white rice works for this fried rice recipe. You can also try it with some healthy alternatives such as brown rice, quinoa, broken whole wheat, etc. 

Vegetables – I like to loaded my fried rice recipes with capsicum, beans, cabbage, and carrots as it adds a beautiful crunch. You can even add red/yellow bell pepper, spring onions, mushroom, zucchini, broccoli, etc.

Egg – Scrambled eggs adds an extra taste and flavour along with veggies. You can also add chicken or prawns if you want to add extra protein. 

Schezwan Sauce – The star ingredient, which makes this recipe different from the regular fried rice recipes.

I have used homemade schezwan sauce, but if you can’t make it at home, you can use the store-bought ones. 

I will prefer the homemade one, as it is freshly made and free of artificial colour and preservatives.

Other Ingredients – Other than the above, I have used soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, chilli oil, ginger, garlic, and black pepper powder.

Make chilli oil at home or use a store bought one, the choice is yours. You can try making it at home, as it comes together in just 5 minutes.

Serving Suggestions

Schezwan Egg Fried Rice tastes delicious on its own, so serve it for a light weekday meal.

It also tastes great with an Indo Chinese curry or stir fry such as Indo Chinese Veg Manchurian, Indo Chinese Chilli Chicken, Gobi Manchurian, Vegetables in Hot Garlic Sauce etc.

It can also be served with Vegetable Hot and Sour Soup along with chicken momos for a complete meal.

If you have any leftover noodles, rice or vegetables, you can use it in Chinese Bhel recipe.
