Schezwan Sauce is a popular sauce in Indo -Chinese cuisine. It is a spicy sauce made with dried red chilies. Very popular dishes like Schezwan Fried Rice, Schezwan noodles are made using this fiery sauce. I just love how this sauce gives the dishes a distinctly unique flavor.
We always had schezwan sauce-based dishes in the restaurant during our childhood. It was all a great craze that we had about this Indo Chinese food. When I got married, I wanted to try making them at home...The store-bought sauce came into my rescue. But in recent years, when I came to know about the dangers of artificial preservatives and colors that are added in the store-bought sauce. I made up my mind that I will make it at home with all organic ingredients and no artificial preservatives or colors. That's when I started making my own sauce at home. Since then I haven't looked back at the store-bought ones...because this is freshly made in batches which tastes super good!!
This sauce has a beautiful red color, a strong garlic flavor, stays good in the refrigerator, perfect for making fried rice and noodles quickly. It comes very handily when you have to make quick rice for lunch, just add this to the cooked rice and you will have a flavourful Schezwan rice ready!! Also can be used as a dipping sauce for Momos.
With very few ingredients, Dried red chilies, garlic, and ginger being the main ingredients, you can prepare this delicious sauce within an hour. So let's check the recipe.
