Background

A veg fried recipe from Indo Chinese cuisine and quite popular in the restaurants around India. It is mildly hot and flavored with a unique blend of sauces. To make this Schezwan fried rice, unique schezwan peppers are used which gives a special citrus flavor to the dish. But in India this spice is not available, so the rice is made with red chilli paste.

½ cup chopped carrots
½ cup chopped beans
½ cup chopped capsicum
½ cup chopped spring onions
