After moving into the new apartment, we had friends over and I decided on an Indo-Chinese menu. I was badly craving some and grabbed the opportunity to cook some up myself. I made the Chilli Paneer, Vegetable Fried Rice and Schezwan Vegetables for some gravy to go with the fried rice.
Schezwan Vegetables Recipe
Adapted from Sailus Food
Serves 4
Ingredients:
1 large onion, cubed into 1" pieces roughly
1 carrot, cut into small, thin discs
8-10 french beans, cut into 1″ pieces
8 baby corns, each cut into 6 round discs
1 green capsicum, cut into 1" pieces roughly
For The Sauce:
2 dry red chillis, halved
¼ teaspoon red chilli pwd
1 teaspoon crushed garlic (about 6 small flakes)
1.5 teaspoon soya sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
2 tbsps tomato puree (or 1 teaspoon tomato paste)
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups vegetable stock or water (I used vegetable stock)
How to Make Vegetable Schezwan Recipe:
1. Heat oil in a pan and add the onions. Cook until soft and transparent - about 3 mins.
2. Add the remaining vegetables with some salt and saute lightly for 3-4 mins.
3. Mix all the sauce ingredients together and add to the cooking vegetables. Let it simmer for 5 mins or until the vegetables are cooked, yet firm. If the gravy is getting too thick, add more water. Adjust salt and add pepper and spring onion greens - and its ready to serve!
