👩🍳Method For making chicken schezwan rice:
1. Cook the chicken:
Mix chicken with soy sauce, ginger-garlic paste, black pepper and salt. Heat oil in a wok and cook the chicken until golden and completely cooked through.
2. Saute vegetables:
Add a little more oil if needed. Stir-fry carrots, cabbage and capsicum over high heat for 2–3 minutes. Keep them slightly crunchy.
3. Add sauces:
Add Schezwan sauce, soy sauce and vinegar. Toss everything together.
4. Add rice:
Gently add the chilled cooked rice. Toss on high heat until the rice is evenly coated with the sauce.
5. Finish:
Add black pepper and adjust salt. Toss in spring onions and cook for another 1–2 minutes.
6. Serve hot:
Garnish with extra spring onions and serve immediately.
🔥 Tips for Restaurant-Style Flavor:
Use cold/chilled cooked rice so the grains don't become mushy.
Cook everything on high heat.
Don't overcook the vegetables; a little crunch tastes better.
Adjust Schezwan sauce according to your preferred spice level.
A drizzle of toasted sesame oil at the end can add extra aroma.
