Hey lovelies ❤️
It's your favorite girl @debbie-ese 😍
Welcome to my blog 🤗
There is something unique about a well-prepared pot of fried rice especially when all the necessary ingredients are added in the right quantity. I made this meal about two sundays ago and I took my time to create a pot of goodness. I saw this recipe for the first time when I visited a friend about two years ago and since then it has been the game changer for me. I had my own way of cooking fried rice, it is a good technique as well but not as sophisticated as this new one.
So, on that day, after I returned from church I began the process of making the rice. I had got the necessary ingredients that I needed from the market about two days earlier, so there would be no important ingredient left out. On Sundays, it is a tradition in my house to eat rice but the only difference each Sunday is the type of rice - white rice, jollof rice or fried rice.
I decided to make a big pot that is enough to last for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Luckily there was some left to do a quick breakfast the next day which makes Monday morning school runs much easier for me. There's a satisfying feeling when you eat the same meal at different times - the tastes get better each time.
Ingredients
5 cups rice
2 meduim onion
Spring onions
5 smallsized carrots
Vegetable oil
Chicken stock
Spices
Salt
Liver
Green pea
Green bell pepper
Red bell pepper
1 tsp curry
1 tsp thyme
2 seasoning cubes
How to prepare
First, wash all your veggies thoroughly and cut into desired size and set aside.
Next, place your pot on meduim heat, add some vegetable oil and stir fry some onions. Add some salt, curry and chicken stocks. Stir well.
Now, add already parboiled rice to the pot and stir fry for about 5 minutes. When you notice some of the rice grains are beginning to turn brown add more chicken stock and allow the rice steam for about 15 - 20 minutes on low heat.
You can make use of a foil to cover the pot alongside the cover of the pot so as to ensure it steams well.
In a seperate pan, add some vegetable oil and stir fry your onions, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, spring onions, peas, and carrot.
Then gently mix the rice with the veggies. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Take of the heat and your food is ready.
