Nigerian Fried Rice

Enjoy the taste full plate of Fried Rice🍛

Fried rice is a dish of cooked rice that has been stir-fried in a wok or a frying pan and is usually mixed with other ingredients such as eggs, vegetables, seafood, or meat. It is often eaten by itself or as an accompaniment to another dish. Note that Nigerian-style chicken or beef stock is built on fresh ingedients: onions, ginger, garlic, chili pepper and seasoned with curry powder, died thyme, black or white pepper, turmeric powder, and is different from Wester-style stocks with carrots and celery. The stock is what principally defines the flavor of Nigerian fried rice but also does limit the rice's shelf-life, so leaving it to cool overnight, refrigerated - often recommended for Chinese fried rice-isn't ideal. Rice is beloved all accross Nigeria. In general Jollof -less flaky, and not as involved-is morecommonly prepared, but there are days when my craving for fried rice with liver and shrimp settle until my husband cooked a pot and served with roast chicken or braai meat and some salads.
