Nigerian Fried Rice Recipe

The Nigerian Fried Rice is one of our favorites during festive seasons, parties and get-togethers just like the Nigerian Jollof Rice we savor this meals so much and we can barely do without them in gatherings.

The Nigerian fried rice is quite different from the popular Chicken Fried Rice because the depth of the taste in the later comes from the Soy sauce while the depth of taste of the later comes from the Curry powder, Thyme, Seasoning cubes and of course the abundance of vegetables like Carrots, Green beans, Peas, sweet corn and Onions.

I added pieces of liver in my fried Rice, a lot of people like this as well, but if you don’t want it you are free to leave it out, you will still enjoy the total goodness of the Fried Rice.

Here is my very simple yet delicious way of making the Nigerian fried Rice. It is really straightforward and the final result is awesome.

Notes:

Don’t over boil your Rice before frying it, otherwise you will end up with a soggy Fried Rice.

Fried Rice is best enjoyed when the Veggies remain crunchy, so don’t overcook your veggies.

It’s o.k to add a dash of cayenne pepper if you like some heat!
