The Nigerian Fried rice recipe is fairly straightforward yet tasty recipe. This recipe uses beef liver, a ton of fresh vegetables, and a tiny bit of oil to crisp everything up.
It is one of the most popular dishes in Nigeria because of the addition of beef liver, which gives the dish a very pleasant, rich flavor. However, you can also use shrimp or any other type of protein. You can completely remove the Beef liver or Shrimps if you want to make vegan fried rice.
This fried rice is completely different from the well-known Asian Chicken Fried Rice because the latter’s flavor is enhanced by the soy sauce, whereas the former’s flavor is enhanced by the curry powder, thyme, seasoning cubes, and, of course, the abundance of vegetables like carrots, green beans, peas, sweet corn, and onions.
Similar to Jollof Rice, we savor these meals so much that we can hardly survive without them during gatherings and festive seasons. This meal can be prepared quickly.
