The main thing in making fried rice is cooking the
basmati rice to the right level, yes, the rice should not be more cooked or under cooked.
So it is always better to cook the basmati rice , yes
using basmati rice is highly recommended, in openpot method. Pressure cooking
may results in over cooked rice.

helps us to get cooked grainy.
Sauté everything in high heat to get
smokey flavor.
You can steam cook the vegetables and
then can add.
Using olive oil/ gingelly oil gives
nice flavor to the rice.
I have used little sugar, though my
schezwan sauce already having sugar in it. So add as per your taste.
I didn’t add vinegar and soy sauce ,
because my schezwan sacue already having these too. If you add just red chilli
paste instead instead of schezwan sauce, add vinegar and soy sauce too in the
rice while sauting.
