Chinese Veg curry is a great side dish for the recipes like schezwan rice, steamed rice or fried rice. This curry is a mild curry recipe which goes best with any spicy recipe.
I recently made this curry with schezwan rice and we loved it a lot. This curry is the one you mostly prepare along with the Manchurians. However, I tried to make this curry as simple an as mild as possible because I wanted to serve this with schezwan rice and schezwan rice is already a super spicy recipe.
ingredients to make Chinese veg curry
I used cabbage, french beans, spring onion and carrots as a vegetable base. The consistency of the curry is achieved by adding cornflour mixture. Garlic, Ginger, Soy sauce, lemon juice, salt, pepper and a little of red chili sauce is used to season this recipe.
Can we store this recipe?
Nope, I won’t recommend storing this vegetable curry for a longer time. You can store this recipe for a day or two but not more than that.
