To make schezwan fried rice recipe, you can use the usual vegetables that are used for making veg fried rice. I used carrots, baby corn, cabbage, sweet corn, beans, bell pepper etc. Speing onion whites are used instead of onions and spring onion greens are used for garnishing. You can make schezwan fried as spicy as you want. just use the required amount of sauce, even better if the sauce is made at home you can control the amount of chilies going in the making of sauce. Make sure the rice is non sticky and thoroughly cooled before adding to the vegetables.
