Recipe for Indo-Chinese Schezwan Chicken Fried Rice

Schezwan Fried Rice is for the Spicy Food Lovers and the ones who love the
colour RED!

I remember my very First Schezwan Noodles and Fried Rice that I ate when our
Catering Cook Bahadur introduced us to this flavour. OMG! I went insane at the
age of 8 and I absolutely loved it and after that I wanted schezwan with all my
Chinese Food, even with Corn Soup… crazy.. I know I know… Schezwan(Shezlon, like
my uncle Antoo used to say 😊) Chicken, Fried Rice, Noodles, etc. became such a
Hit among our building friends and the kids of the lane, that when the Menu for
my 1st Holy Communion was being decided, we had an All Chinese Menu, where
Bahadur and My Mom cooked everything for our 150+ guests and Schezwan Fried
Rice, Schezwan Chicken Gravy and Schezwan Noodles were topping the buffet table!
I was the cool kid in town because not everyone had heard about these dishes
back then! So cool right! 😊

But the sad part is that, Mum & I didn’t learn how to make Schezwan Sauce from
Bahadur nor Raja Chinese ☹…I regret it… but I hope to learn it soon and share it
with you all. If you have a Good recipe for Schezwan Sauce, Do share it with Me
and I’ll feature you with your recipe in my Schezwan Sauce Post. Until then,you
can enjoy a bottle of a Nice Spicy store bought Schezwan sauce and Toss it into
your Fried Rice, Thank Me laterzzzz!

Instructions

1 First, in the large vessel, add the Water, Oil and Salt and Keep it on High
Flame for Boiling

Note: Adding Oil to the water is a very important step. If oil isn’t added, the
Rice will get sticky. The Oil helps the Rice to remain loose and grainy
2 As soon as the water begins to boil, add the Rice into the boiling water Boil
the Rice until it is 75% cooked only

Immediately, Strain the Rice into a large strainer

Note: The Rice will be tossed on High flame later so if the Rice is fully
cooked, the Rice will further get cooked and will become extremely soft and
that’s not the texture we want for Fried Rice. Hence do not fully cook the Rice.

Note: Ensure the Rice is not kept in the water. Or else it will get further
cooked and become sticky
3 Once the water is completely drained off, immediately transfer the Rice into a
large wide tray so that the Rice doesn’t further cook with its own heat and
steam. Let the Rice come down to room temperature

Note: Do not cover the Tray

Bringing the Rice to room temperature is extremely important because Hot Rice is
Soft and tossing Hot Rice will tend to break the Rice and you will not be able
to retain Long grains.

Prep all your ingredients in advance because we will be cooking this on
Extremely High Flame and you will not have a chance to chop or get things in
between
4 Once the Rice comes to Room temperature, Take a Large Wok or Skillet and Add 4
Tbspn Oil and place it on High flame
5 Once the Oil turns Hot, Add the beaten Eggs and the chopped Spring Onion
bulbs(the white part) and with a flat spoon break down the egg in the Hot Oil

Note: Spring Onion and Egg are a very Important ingredients because the Main
flavours come from these two ingredients when tossed in Extremely Hot Oil
6 Add the Rice, Boiled Chicken, chopped spring Onion greens, Colour(if using)Salt
and Schezwan Sauce
7 Toss the Wok on high flame and let all the ingredients mix well

Note: Once the Rice goes in, kindly ensure that you do not use a Spoon or
Spatula to Mix the Fried Rice. Hold the handle of the Wok and Toss the Rice
because using a Spoon or Spatula, might break the rice. If you are finding it
difficult to toss, Use a Flat Spatula at intervals but do it extremely gently
[null]
8 Once every grain is coated with Schezwan Sauce, turn the flame off and Enjoy
your Hot, Cart Style Chicken Fried Rice.You can sprinkle some Spring Onions over
the Fried Rice while eating. [null]

Note: If Spring Onions are Raw and for any reason you’re notable to finish the
Fried Rice and have to keep it for the next day, it may tend to smell. Hence if
you wish to sprinkle Spring Onion over your Fried Rice, You may do so, into your
individual plates, at the time of Eating and not into the entire batch.
