The Odogwu!!!! Undefeated!!! Favorite food since before birth and that’s all I’ll say!

DISCLAIMER

My ancestors guide me when it comes to fried rice spice measurement, so let yours guide you too. My professional recommendation (from a highly renowned chef…me) is to taste after each spice. Start with half a teaspoon, then taste and adjust like the culinary legend you are. But if you’re skilled in the art of fried rice, i ma etu esi mee ya (you already know what to do).

Ingredients

• Protein of choice
• 2 cups of long grain white rice
• 2 Red onions
• Bell peppers (green, red, yellow)
• Carrots
• Spring onions
• Knorr/Maggi
• Salt to taste
• Pepper
• Curry
• Oil for frying
• Thyme
• Rosemary
• Ginger
• Garlic

Directions

• Wash rice in a bowl until water is clear.
• Parboil your rice.
• Cook your protein.
• You can leave as is or fry/bake the protein.
• SAVE THE PROTEIN STOCK!
• Add parboiled rice to protein stock and cook on medium heat until the water has dried up. The rice should be tender but not mushy.
• Dice all your veggies.
• In a separate pot, fry your onions.
• Fry veggies (on low heat).
• Mix all your spices in a little bowl and pour into the pot.
• Add your rice and stir for about 5 minutes on high heat.
• Take the pot off the stove.
• Add 3 thin slices of butter to the rice and cover (this prevents the rice from being sticky).
• Optional: slice onions and spring onions (green onions) and add to the pot.
