I love Nigerian Food

Especially Nigerian fried rice!😋

In my personal top-five list of Nigerian rice dishes, fried rice―a light-yellow hued rice dish strewn with vegetables―is vying for the top spot with white rice, jollof rice, coconut rice, and Ofada (a sweet fermented rice). Like jollof rice, this popular dish is cooked at home and at restaurants equally, and is ever present at parties and special events. Nigerian fried rice looks, feels, and eats like a dish that’s a cross between golden turmeric Indian pilau and vegetable-studded Chinese fried rice. It isn't surprising that Nigerian fried rice is an amalgam of influences; both Chinese and Indians have lived in Nigeria since the 1930s and 1970s respectively, and have contributed to Nigerian food culture, notably spring rolls and samosas, which are permanent fixtures in small chops, a collection of Nigerian appetizers served at parties and celebrations.
