Other Varieties of Fried Rice You Can Make

1. Szechwan Fried Rice

If you are a fan of bold and spicy flavors and Chinese foods, Szechwan fried rice is the best option to prepare. To make Szechwan Veg Fried Rice, follow the same basic recipe of veg fried rice but replace a few ingredients:
  • Szechwan Sauce: Replace the soy sauce, red chili sauce and green chili sauce with 2 tablespoons of Szechwan sauce. This will give the dish a fiery kick and that signature spicy and tangy taste.
  • Szechwan Peppercorns: You can also add crushed Szechwan peppercorns for an added complex flavor. These peppercorns bring the numbing spiciness which is a specialty of Szechwan or Chinese cuisine.
  • Extra Veggies: If you like, you can add some chopped baby corn or mushrooms to enhance the texture and flavor as per your requirement.

2. Mushroom Fried Rice

Mushroom Fried Rice is perfect for those who love earthy flavors. To turn this street-style fried rice into a mushroom delight:
  • Add Mushrooms: Instead of using a variety of vegetables, you can use 1.5 cups of sliced mushrooms (button mushrooms work well). Sauté them with ginger, garlic, and onions for a rich flavor.
  • Mushroom Sauce: To enhance the mushroom flavor, you can replace the soy sauce with a few teaspoons of mushroom broth to the sauce mix.
  • Garnish: Top the fried rice with some fresh coriander leaves for a fresh contrast to the richness of the mushrooms.

3. Corn Fried Rice

For a sweet and savory variation, Corn Fried Rice is a fantastic choice. It is light, sweet and full of flavors:
  • Add Sweet Corn: Replace the mix of chopped vegetables with a 1 cup of boiled or frozen sweet corn, some sliced onions and bell peppers while stir frying. The sweetness of the corn complements the savory rice beautifully.
  • Curry Leaves: If you want to enhance the flavors, you can add a few fresh curry leaves during the stir-fry. These add a lovely aroma and depth to the dish.
  • Cashews: For extra texture, toss in some roasted cashews at the end of cooking. The crunchy nuts give an added texture to the soft rice.
