Veg Fried Rice has always been our favourite. Even if I prepare this dish every week sakshi and RK have no issues. Hence I tried this variation of fried rice which i got from Tarla dalal's Rice Recipes and I am glad i tried it.
Ingredients:
Basmathi Rice - 2 cups
garlic - 4 cloves
vegetables - 1 cup (carrots, capsicum, cabbage and beans)
spring onions - 2 stalks
schezuan sauce - 2 tbsp ( recipe below)
oil - 1 tbsp
salt to taste
Schezuan Sauce: makes ¾cup
Dry red chillies - 12 to 15 (kashmiri or Begdi)
white vinegar - 3 tbsp
garlic - 3 cloves
sugar - 2 tsp
sesame oil - 1 tbsp
salt - 1 tsp
Soak the dry red chillies in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain out all the water from the chillies and discard it. Grind all the ingredients except the oil in a blender to a fine paste. Keep aside. Heat oil to smoking point and pour over the paste. Mix well. Allow to cool and store refrigerated in an air tight container. Use as and when required.
Method: Schezuan Fried Rice
Heat a pot of water and get to a boil. Wash the rice and add to the boiling water. Add salt and cook till the rice is just done. drain off the water and set the rice to cool on a paper towel. This step can be done well in advance if preparing for a party.
Peel and finely chop garlic. Wash and finely slice all the vegetables. Wash and chop separately spring onions green and white.
Heat oil, add chopped garlic and saute till it turns golden in colour. Add spring onion white and veggies and saute for 2 to 3 minutes on high flame. Add schezuan sauce and cook for another minute. Add cooked rice, spring onion greens, salt and mix well. Toss for a few seconds till all the ingredients are well mixed. Serve hot.
