Quick and Easy Schezwan Fried Rice

Schezwan fried rice is a popular fried rice variety from the Indio Chinese cuisine. Unlike regular fried rice, schezwan fried rice is hot and spicy with bursting flavors of ginger and garlic with crunchy vegetables. It is made by stir-frying vegetables and tossing with sauces and rice. It is a quick recipe and can be done in a few minutes. I prefer using rice that is made a day prior so it gives some structure to the recipe. You can use fresh rice too but a day prior rice is recommended.
