Y'ello Everyone,
I hope we are all dusting our winter jackets? Sorry for this late post, oh! and I'll be posting blogs Mondays and Fridays. I have been so busy with motherhood and other good things. Between Ethan's doctor's appt, Groceries and chores, lol it is Hard mhen! but ofcourse, I'm not complaining. I love every bit of It Especially when he leans over to give that sloppy kisses, It's worth it all.
As promised, I made this fried rice sunday evening. I even had a giveaway of two plates of fried rice with a competition requesting people to guess what i was about to cook and the seasoning that will be used. Ofcourse the hints were on my last posts. Chika Scott and Kemi Omodele won the competition. I bet they enjoyed each plate. Enough, let's dive in!
Here I have all the needed ingredients:
Rice: 3 Anchor Hocking 32 ounces measuring cup
My veggies: fresh carrot
onion
Green pepper: Yellow pepper
Orange pepper
Habanero pepper
Canned sweet peas,
Whole Kernel corn (optional),
String beans,
Scallion,
Onion
Hard chicken (10 chicken wings)
Liver
Seasonings: Salt
Granulated Mushroom Bouillon
Fried rice seasoning (Detroit)
Powdered pepper
Curry and Thyme
Cooking Oil
Salted Butter
PREPPING STAGE
Honestly guys, Fried rice can be stressful, if ofcourse you're making it as I do. I believe it tastes better this way and you get
that authentic Nigerian fried rice taste.
(1)First, I have all my veggies washed in the above right picture, diced and set them apart lol (sounds like I am rapping).
(2)Then I cooked my chicken. How? thesame way i cooked my goat meat, In the left picture I have two onions, one clove of garlic, a table spoon blended pasty ginger (I got it at a local grocery store). Blended together and viola!
(3) poured my sauce in the chicken, added Curry and Thyme and some dry pepper,(I do this because i needed some spice in the stock and the chicken too). I let it cook for about 20mins on Medium heat.
(4)While that was cooking, I cut up my Liver, rinsed it, added some Best Chicken Powder and salt, let that cook for about 15mins on medium heat. I set it aside for about 10mins to cool down before dicing it up. (liver is optional. Again, you can use shrimp to achieve thesame result. if allegic to seafood, you can make it as egg fried rice *Tayo loves this*)
(5) At this point, my chicken was cooked. Instead of frying the chicken, I made a sauce and spreaded it all over the chicken. I took about one and half table spoon of butter, table spoon of dry pepper and Best Chicken Powder (teaspoon). Mixed it together, I let it sit in the Microwave for about 2mins then spreaded it all over the chicken. The picture on the right shows the sauce and the picture on the left shows the chicken before i added my mixture.
(6)I preheated my oven on 400c, then reduced the
the temperature to 300c, added my chicken. I let it sit in there for another 20mins. I wanted my chicken to have this golden brownish colour :) while this was cooking, my diced liver was also in the oven for 15mins. I just wanted that crunchy texture
in the liver. The left picture shows the chiken after it's cooked. I'm not a food connoisseur, so you guys manage my picture like that lol
(7)The stock leftover from cooking the chicken was used, ofcourse to boil my already perboiled rice.If you do not have chicken stock leftover, you can purchase chicken stock from freshco to achieve thesame taste. My stock leftover has all the needed ingredients (drained oil from the chicken, powered pepper, curry & thyme, onion, garlic, ginger and Granulated Mushroom Bouillon). I let the rice cook for 15mins on Medium heat. Mind you, fried rice does not need to be overly soft because it'll soften up when you're frying it. Please keep mixing the rice every now and then to avoid burning within the span of the set 15mins. If you experience heavy burning, please put the rice in the oven to allow it to soften a bit. Bottom right picture shows my rice after 15mins of cooking.
COOKING STAGE
(8)At this point, rice is cooked. I place my frying pan (non stick preferably pan) on the cooker, added a tea spoon of cooking oil, same amount of butter, let it bleach then i added all my veggies, including my liver, my fried rice seasoning, Granulated Mushroom buillon and a tea spoon of salt. (The bottom right picture shows the cooked veggies before adding the rice)
(9)I let it simmer for 5mins before adding my rice. I mixed it all together. let it simmer for another 5mins and we are READY TO EAT :) I, ofcourse repeated, thesame step till all the rice is cooked. Guys, I found an alternative for the fried rice seasoning at Multifood but i forgot to pick it up on sunday while shopping. Ethan was asleep in his stroller and I had to push his stroller AND my cart. Not easy, I tell you.
I'm trying to have a monetary giveaway but not sure what to do or how to go about it. Suggestions you guys.
Thank you guys so much for the continual encouragement and love. God bless you! Next, i'll be making Jollof Rice :) I want to get those food out of the way before making gbegiri ewedu and amala. This will be coming on Friday or Saturday, you guys!
Until Next time, Au revoir!
