Veg Schezwan Fried Rice

Ingredients

• 1.5 cup basmati rice
• 4 cup water
• Salt as per taste
• 1 tsp oil
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp finely chopped ginger
• 8-10 finely chopped garlic cloves
• 1 medium size finely chopped onion
• 1 medium size finely chopped carrot
• 1/2 cup finely chopped french beans
• 1 small size finely chopped green capsicum
• 1/2 finely chopped red capsicum
• 1/2 finely chopped yellow capsicum
• 1/2 cup finely chopped cabbage
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 pouch chings schezwan fried rice masala
• Green coriander leaves as per required
• Onion rings as per required

Steps

1. After cleaning the basmati rice, soak it in clean water for 20 minutes.
2. Heat the water in a pan, then add the soaked rice, salt and oil. Cook over a medium flame until 90% done. Put the cooked rice into a bowl, drain away all the water, then transfer it to a large plate to cool.
3. Leftover rice is another option, or cook the rice in advance and use it a few hours later.
4. Heat oil in a pan and sauté the finely chopped garlic and ginger. Add the finely chopped onion and french beans and sauté for a while over a high flame.
5. Add the finely chopped bell peppers, carrot and cabbage, sautéing over a high flame. Keep the vegetables slightly crunchy rather than cooking them too much. Mix in the cooked rice thoroughly.
6. Mix in the Chings masala and salt; no other spices or sauces are needed. Cook for some time over a medium flame, then switch off.
7. The vegetable Schezwan fried rice is ready. Garnish with green coriander leaves and onion rings and serve.
