SCHEZUAN FRIED RICE




This is a popular variation of the fried rice. The regular vegetable fried rice is somewhat bland, but the addition of Schezuan sauce made from red chillies makes this dish more delicious. It does not require any side dish and can be had just as it is.

Serves = 8


Ingredients

3 cups rice

2 onions chopped

1/2 cabbage cut into strips

2 carrots cut into strips

10 to 12 beans finely chopped

1/2 cup peas

1 capsicum cut into small strips

2 to 2 1/2 tbsp Schezuan sauce

2 tbsp soya sauce

Salt to taste

1 cup oil

For the Schezuan sauce

10 to 12 red chillies

2 tsp garlic paste

3 tbsp white vinegar

1 1/2 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1 tbsp oil

 Method

First deseed the red chillies, then soak them in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain the water. Then blend the soaked chillies along with garlic, vinegar, sugar and salt. Then heat oil in a small pan, when it has started boiling, switch off the gas and add it to the blended mixture. Mix well. Schezuan sauce is now ready.

Method

Take a vessel and fill it with 15 cups of water. Then add 11/2 to 2 tsp salt and 2 tsp oil and bring it to a boil. When water starts boiling, add the drained rice and cook till the rice is done. Drain out the excess water and allow the rice to cool.

Then heat oil in a deep bottomed pan, add onions, cook for some time, then add cabbage and other vegetables. Mix well and cook for some time. Do not add water. Cook till all the vegetables are crisp and cooked. Then add soya sauce, Schezuan sauce and salt. Mix well with the vegetables. Add cooked and cooled rice and mix well. Cook in a low flame until done. Serve hot.
