Traditionally, Nigerian fried rice is made with parboiled long grain rice. [2] X Research source The recipe calls for 2 cups (356 g) of parboiled rice. 1 cup (178 g) of dry rice makes about 2 cups (356 g) of cooked rice.
In traditional Nigerian recipes, rice is always cooked in meat stock (unlike the rice in Chinese fried rice, which is cooked in plain water). If you prefer, use beef or vegetable stock instead.
Take the rice of the heat and fluff it with a fork after 5 minutes.
For an authentic Nigerian flavor, saute 1 cup (128 g) of cubed beef liver with the veggies. [12] X Research source You can use frozen mixed vegetables straight from the bag while they’re still frozen. If you prefer, chop and dice your own mixed vegetables. Try a mix of carrots, corn, green beans, and peas.
If the vegetables stick to the skillet, add 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of cooking oil.
Turn off the heat and serve the fried rice immediately for the best flavor. [15] X Research source Put any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate it for 5-7 days.
