Ingredients:

• Long grain/Jasmin cooked rice – 3 cups

• Oil – 2 tbsp

• Green Onions aka spring onion – 2 sliced bulbs and stalks

• Finely chopped Carrots – 1 Small

• Finely chopped beans – 5-6

• Green Peas – 1/2 cup

• Onion Finely Chopped – 1 Medium

• White Vinegar – 1 tbsp

• Garlic Finely Chopped – 4-5 Cloves

• Salt to taste

• Powdered Pepper – 1/2 tsp

• Schezwan Mix Powder – 2 1/2 tsp

• Green Chillies Finely Chopped – 2

Method:

Step 1: Cook Rice

1. Soak 1 cup rice for 10 to 20 mins. If you are a large family, you can make more rice(upto 3 cups) following the same method. Add rice to a large bowl. I have used 3 cups long grain basmati rice. You can also use any long grain or medium grain like Jasmine rice, Sona masoori.

2. Meanwhile pour about 10 cups of water for 3 cups of rice to a large pot and bring it to a rolling boil on a medium high flame. When the water begins to boil add the rice.

3. Add 1 tablespoon salt to the boiling water. Add rice.

4. Keep checking so you don’t overcook. This only takes a few minutes. Cook the rice and not mushy. Grains must be separated yet fully cooked.

5. Quickly drain the rice to a colander. Cool it until all of the steam vanishes. Fluff it up with a fork. If the rice is perfect you can cover and set aside. This prevents the rice from drying & becoming hard.

6. When completely cooled add ½ tablespoon of Vinegar to rice. Mix well. Leave in the fridge for 10 mins. This is optional. Doing so will give rice a good texture that best suits for Chinese fried rice.

Step 2: Fried Rice

1. Heat oil in a wok or pan on the highest flame. Add green onion bulbs, garlic, green chillies, & chopped onions.

2. Saute for 2-3 mins.

3. Add the vegetables and saute 5 mins.

4. Add the cooked rice. Mix well.

5. To it add, Schezwan mix powder. Mix thoroughly.

6. You can add more pepper powder & salt if needed.

7. Finally, garnish with green onion stalks.

Schezwan Fried Rice is ready. Enjoy!!
