REFER NOTES

- Now lets proceed with tossing our veggies.In a wok,heat up the oil.Add garlic,green chillies,onion & white of spring onion.Saute on high flame for few seconds till onion turns translucent.
- Add the carrots ,beans and babycorn ( as cooking time is more for them ).Stir fry for abt a minute.
- Then add cabbage and capsicum.Sprinkle little salt.Stir fry for few more seconds on high flame.All the veggies should retain their crunchiness so take care not to overcook them.
- Next add schezwan sauce,salt and pepper.Stir fry for 5-10 second.

Notes
- You can add the amount of veggies and sauce as per your taste and preference.You can add more or less.
- Don't overcook rice cook it aldente. They should be just 80 % cooked.While tossing in sauces , they l again get cooked a bit. Once the rice is cooked , transfer it to wide plate ,spread gently and allow it to cool nicely. This way the rice grains get separated .Rice has to be cooled nicely before mixing with the tempering. Else lumps will be formed and dish becomes sticky . DONT FORGET IT ..

Unfortunately, I can’t find any schezwan sauce here. I really want to try this badly and add some twist by using corn rice. Because corn rice is cholesterol free and good for diabetic people. I’m wondering about what would it taste and planning to serve it to my Family who used to eat just plain corn rice. Waiting for your homemade schezwan sauce recipe. Thanks!
