How To Make Chicken Chopper Fried Rice
Start with the egg fried rice. It’s a quick stir fry involving your favorite veggies, eggs, soy sauce and cooked rice. I opted for basmati rice in this recipe as street food vendors use basmati rice to create delicious Indo Chinese dishes.
To serve this chicken chopper rice as a complete meal, it also comes with a vibrant chicken curry. Again, the chicken is chopped into bite-sized pieces and tossed in a beautiful sauce made with spicy schezwan sauce and tomato sauce. In fact, the color and flavor of this curry comes from schezwan sauce.
Before serving, garnish with plenty of spring onions or scallions.
