Manchurian Fried rice

    Manchurian Fried rice

 

Manchurian fried rice is a flavorful Indo-Chinese dish that combines the bold, spicy flavors of Manchurian sauce with the savory comfort of stir-fried rice. Typically made with cooked basmati or long-grain rice, it includes sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and cabbage, along with soy sauce, garlic, and chili for a tangy kick. The rice is often paired with or topped by crispy Manchurian balls—deep-fried vegetable or meat dumplings coated in a spicy, slightly sweet sauce—adding texture and depth to the dish. Popular in Indian street food culture and restaurants alike, Manchurian fried rice offers a fusion experience that’s rich, zesty, and deeply satisfying.
