Szechuan Chicken Fried Rice
A super popular & most loved dish of Indo-Chinese cuisine is the Schezwan Chicken Fried Rice. It is very easy to make and its absolutely hot, spicy & irresistible. You can adjust the spice level according to your taste buds by reducing the quantity of schezwan sauce.
This chicken fried rice doesn’t need any accompaniment and tastes great on its own. A big bowl of Szechuan Chicken Fried Rice never lets you down, because it is tasty, healthy and super-quick to put together! One of the best part about this rice stir-fry is that you can easily customize it by adding your favourite vegetables, which also adds more colour, nutrition and texture to the dish.
I have used the store bought Szechuan sauce for this recipe, however you can also use a home made version for this.
