About Chicken Schezwan Fried Rice
Chicken Schezwan Fried Rice is an Indo-Chinese dish, part of the hybrid cuisine the Hakka Chinese community created in Kolkata. Although it borrows the name of China's Sichuan region, it is honestly neither authentic Sichuan cooking nor North Indian; it is a crossover dish in its own right, and one of the hotter things in our rice section.
It starts as our chicken fried rice and is then fired up with house-made Schezwan paste, which our chef from Uttarakhand prepares in-house from soaked dried red chillies, garlic, vinegar and a touch of sugar. Cooled basmati rice is tossed over a hot flame with diced chicken and finely chopped vegetables such as cabbage, carrot and spring onion, the paste turning everything a bright red with chilli-garlic oil pooling at the edge of the plate. The chicken is halal-marked and bought fresh from Makro daily, and with no pork or alcohol used the dish is halal-friendly. It is a dry, wok-tossed rice rather than a saucy one, and we send extra Schezwan sauce on the side for dipping.
This runs genuinely hot, with a strong heat that lingers, so it is best for those who like spice. We can cut back the amount of paste to ease it off, though it will still keep a mild-to-medium kick, so do let the kitchen know your preference. It eats well on its own as a spicy meal or alongside a cooler, milder dish to balance the heat.
