Ingredients
  

For the sauce

  • 10 to 12 chillies Whole red (I use the kashmiri ones)
  • 10 to 12 pods garlic of finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 inch ginger finely chopped
  • 2 to 3 pods garlic finely chopped
  • 1 chilly green, finely chopped
  • 2 to 3 Spring Onions both green and white finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock or Vegetable stock
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • 1/2 tbsp vinegar
  • to taste salt
  • pinch sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil

For the fried rice

  • 1 cup rice long grain steamed (I have realised over years, old work the best)
  • eggs 2 either scrambled or omelette cut into thin
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup vegetables of choice finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Spring Onions both green and white finely chopped
  • 2 to 3 tbsps sauce (made from above)
  • 1/2 tsp vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • For the sauce.
  • Boil the garlic and red chillies mentioned in the first part of ingredients with 1/4 cup for about 5-6 minutes. Grind to make a chilli-garlic paste. Keep aside.
  • Mix the cornflour and vegetable/chicken stock and keep aside.
  • Heat oil in a wok and add ginger, garlic, green chillies to it. Saute for 1 minute and add the spring onions. Saute for another 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the chilli-garlic paste and saute for 2 minutes. Add vinegar, salt and sugar.
  • Now add the stock and cornflour mixture to this, stirring continuously for about 2-3 minutes till the sauce thickness. Keep aside to cool. This will roughly make about 1/2 cup of sauce, more than what you need for the rice. Store whatever is left in an airtight container and it should be okay in the fridge for about a week or 10 days.
  • Heat oil in a big wok, add the garlic and ginger and saute on a medium flame for a few seconds.
  • Add the spring onion and the 1/2 cup vegetables, saute on a high flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs and saute for another 1 minute.
  • Add soya, sauce, vinegar, schezwan sauce and saute for another 2 minutes. Add rice to this and mix well. Serve hot garnished with spring onion greens.
