Schezwan Chicken Fried Rice – that gives you the taste of a restaurant fried rice at home and is a hot, spicy Chinese fried rice cooked with Schezwan sauce, spices and tender boiled chicken pieces. This is a simple-to-cook recipe that you can make yourself right at home and kids would love it.
You can purchase Schezwan Sauce from your local grocery store or check out our easy recipes for making the Schezwan sauce at home. You can use normal rice to prepare this, but I always prefer Basmati rice or the long-grained rice for its rich flavor and look. We did use MSG or Ajinomoto in this recipe, but that is entirely optional if you do not like to use MSG.
