COMPLETE INGREDIENTS FOR FRIED RICE

Serving: 8 Persons

4 cups of rice.
5 cups of sliced Cabbage.
2 cups of sliced Carrot.

2 cups of sliced Green beans.
Half cup of peas.
1 cup of sliced Green pepper.
Cow Liver {300g}.
2kg of Chicken.
Vegetable oil.{200ml}
1 cup of sliced Onions.

PREPARATION

Most Nigerian foods start with you parboiling the meat to be used, Most Naija foods including fried rice goes along with fried or cooked meat. The most popular meat in Nigeria is chicken.

So let’s make fried rice and chicken the Nigerian way.

Step 1
Parboil chicken and liver (both together) with all the spices (a teaspoon of salt, half cup of sliced onions, a teaspoon of thyme spice, a teaspoon of curry, two seasoning cubes teaspoon each of powdered ginger and garlic).

Allow the meat to cook for ten to fifteen minutes, taste for salt, then pick out and deep fry. Be sure to reserve the stock (meat water)

Step 2
Chop the cabbage, green beans, carrot, liver and set aside in a wide tray as you can find in the video below or the image above.

This process is easy, I normally use just a knife and chopping board or a tray.

The sample image below shows you some of the ingredients in small quantities.

Chopped cow liver(1), chicken stock (meat water)(2), green peas(3) Chopped cabbage(4) chopped carrot(5), green beans(6), and sweet corn (7).

 

Remove the white center seeds from the green pepper and also slice and set aside.

Step 3
Parboil the 4 cups of rice also and cook with half of the meat stock (water from the meat) and two cups of water, cook until it is about 70% done.

You have to observe the rice closely. It doesn’t need to be too soft or too hard, just almost done.
