Nigerian Fried Rice

Fried rice is one of the most widely eaten Nigerian food; almost every Nigerian accepts it both at home and in Diaspora. I will show you how I make it.

Fried Rice Recipe

This recipe shows you how to make fried rice the Nigerian way.

I make this once every month and my family always looks forward to it. Most often I serve with fried chicken, you can grill your chicken instead.

I am sure I detailed this recipe enough and would make the entire process a cakewalk.

Here is the complete ingredient for making this delicious Nigerian food.

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.
Curry powder (coloring spice) {2 Tablespoons}.
Salt and pepper to taste

I do have a Complete Resource Here for how to grill chicken, fish, how to make salads, plus recipes for the top ten Nigerian rice meals. Exceptional!!!

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 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).

Fried rice ingredients

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.

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

How to Cook Fried rice Step By Step

Step 1
Set your cooking pot on heat, allow drying, then pour in about 200ml of vegetable oil.

Note: It is better to continue with the same oil you used while frying the meat (that is only if you fried the meats), you can reduce it to 200ml.

Step 2
Allow heating, then add the sliced onions, stir for 1-2 minutes.

Step 3
Then add the chopped carrot and green beans, any of these two can actually go first.

Add the chopped liver and sweet corn, stir.

Meat stock (water from the meat) should follow, add ground pepper (optional), add a teaspoon of salt and, add 1 seasoning cube then stir and taste, you may add more salt.

Add the green peas.

Cook fried rice

Step 4

Stir for 1-2 minutes then add cabbage and the curry powder (Curry is a yellowish spice that actually adds the yellowish color to fried rice, add and stir till you are satisfied with the color.)

You would have a yellowish mixture that would often taste overly spiced, don’t worry the rice would balance the taste.

If you are satisfied with the taste, then add the green pepper, stir.

Step 5

Step 4
Add the almost-done white rice and stir

turning rice fried

Stir all together, cover your pot and allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes.

That is how to make fried rice.

pot of fried rice

Step 5
Serve with the fried or fried meat (chicken), I fried my chicken as you can see above.

You can also grill the chicken.

I think grilled chicken is way better than fried chicken, for one, you will avoid the oil and accompanying cholesterol

Fried rice Recipe

Above is a video for making Nigerian fried rice, here I made it with goat meat and also covered the process of making the goat meat barbecue.

We also made a goat meat barbecue in the video above, which was served together with the rice. Remember that most Nigerian foods are often served with either fried/cooked meat or fish.

I got ur two cook book last week. As for the fried rice, I prefer to add the curry, Maggi, salt and pepper and any other spice I want to use when I am cooking the rice with chicken stock. Then I add the vegetables to the frying oil. I put in the cooked and spiced rice two cooking spoon at a time and I turn in the frying vegetables. It always comes out well.

Sure you can use any kind of curry as long as it adds the necessary yellowish color. Also, it doesn’t matter the size of the meat water, just make sure it doesn’t get dried the next time. 😀

We welcomed another baby into our home few weeks back and my wife had to move over to her parents’ place because her mom’s still works and the school our others kids attend is closer to that place. Aside seeing in the evening in most weekdays, I go to get them for church. I could cook but I felt I wanted to be more on point. So I searched for Fried Rice recipe in the internet and settled for your website. I followed your recipe and instructions, got my fried rice done, packed it to church and right in the car, I opened the cooler for my wife. She couldn’t believe it. As she took each spoon, she kept muttering, Femi, something is wrong with you. She didn’t drop the spoon until I told her, Madam, that good is for all of us and not for you alone o.
Your guide was simple and easy. I hope you make a lot of money doing this o.

Hello Ruth, you can use cabbage for fried rice, it all depends on taste and choice. Cabbage tend to increase its nutritional value and make it a lot enjoyable.

Thanks for the reCipe, but do you think it is right to use cabbage for fried rice? I was thinking that the only necessary ingredients are just carrot, green beans, peas, liver, onions and green pepper. Maybe I have to try the one with cabbage.

It is nice to learn all of these wonderful recipes from you, fried rice is the most popular food in my house, my husband and kids love it very much but for a long time I have been doing it all wrong until I visited this page. Your method of cooking friend rice is fantastic, the first time I tried your method my husband cleared his plate, I felt on top of the world.

Hello joy, you are welcomed. It is very ok to use the green coloring for fried rice but I believe curry is a more natural and tasty ingredients for that purpose.

Hi Chidi, I really appreciate your message on how to make fried rice. I often get things done wrong whenever i’m preparing this meal. I always fry my cooked rice in the thick sauce made from my fried ingredients. But at the end of it all, i often realise that the taste of the fried ingredient doesn’t really enter the rice. Anyway, now i have a new method which i believe will produce a better result. Thanks so much. Please, is it advisable to use green colouring for fried rice? I’ve seen someone who used it and colour of d rice wasn’t bad.

No is not good. Tumeric curry can give you the colour you want.
