Add on the ground chilly paste, tomato ketchup, soy sauce, rice vinegar and salt and mix well. Remove from flame and set aside. Szechwan sauce is ready for use.

Now heat the remaining oil in a wok, add the second chopped onion and sauté till translucent. Toss in the sliced vegetables and continue sautéing for a min or two.
step 3
Finally add the refrigerated rice, 3 tbsp Szechwan sauce and salt and toss well until well combined and the rice turns a beautiful red.
