| Nigerian Fried Rice with fried chicken fillets |
Nigerian fried rice, a beloved culinary gem, is a cherished rice dish in Nigeria. It’s a star attraction at parties and festive gatherings, where its tantalizing flavors and vibrant presentation steal the show.
Setting it apart from other Nigerian rice recipes, this fried rice involves a unique method. Seasoned pre-cooked rice is stir-fried with an enticing blend of vegetables and your choice of protein, whether it’s succulent meat, chicken, or delectable prawns.
Nigerian Fried Rice and Chinese Fried Rice differ in terms of cultural origin, ingredients, seasonings, cooking techniques, and flavors.
Nigerian Fried Rice features spices, such as curry powder and thyme, while Chinese Fried Rice relies on soy sauce, ginger, and garlic for its distinctive taste. Nigerian Fried Rice often includes bell peppers, while Chinese Fried Rice commonly uses mostly peas, carrots, and corn. Both dishes offer unique culinary experiences due to their cultural and regional influences.
I love Nigerian fried Rice and know you would too☺
Nigerian Fried Rice Ingredients:
- 500g long grain white Rice
- 500ml Chicken or Turkey stock/broth
- 100g Cow Liver (use beef as a substitute)
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 handful Green Peas or Runner Beans
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 Onion bulb
- 2-3 tablespoonful Curry Powder
- 1 teaspoonful Garlic Powder
- ½ tablespoonful Black or white pepper (optional)
- 2- 3 Cooking spoonful Vegetable Oil
- 2 stock cube or bouillon cube for Seasoning
- Salt (to taste)
For serving the Fried Rice:
- 500g Chicken/Turkey thighs or drumsticks
- 1 teaspoon thyme(for cooking the chicken)
- 1 teaspoon curry (for cooking the chicken)
- 1 stock cube (for cooking the chicken)
- A few onion slices (for cooking the chicken)
Now, let’s dive into the cooking directions
How to make Nigerian Fried Rice:
For Preparing the Stock:
1. If you don’t have stock on hand, you can easily whip up a flavorful one by cooking the chicken. Place the chicken in a pot, add 1 teaspoon of thyme, 1 teaspoon of curry, 1 stock cube, and some onion slices. Pour in a bit of water and cook the chicken for 10 minutes, then add more water and continue cooking until it’s done. The liquid left after cooking becomes your stock. Strain it through a strainer to remove tiny chicken bones and any impurities, setting the stock aside for later use. You can proceed to fry or grill the chicken at this point.
2. Wash and place the cow liver in a pot, adding seasoning cubes and salt to taste. Cook the liver for 10 minutes, then, when it cools down, cut it into cubes and set it aside. If liver isn’t your thing, you can use fried beef, chicken, or shrimps as a substitute.
3. Parboil the rice following your preferred method or MY METHOD HERE and then place it in a sieve to drain excess water. Parboiling reduces the rice’s starch content, preventing the grains from sticking together during cooking.
4. Preparing the Vegetables: For the vegetables, start by washing all of them. Dice the onion and set it aside. Peel the carrots and cut them into small cubes. Remove the seeds from the green bell peppers and dice them. If you’re using frozen vegetables, thaw them before use. To blanch the carrots and green peas, place them in boiling water for 5 minutes, strain, cool in a bowl of cold water, and then drain.
Tip: this method is called blanching. It helps to par-boil the vegetables without cooking it through, thereby cutting down the stir-frying process. It also helps to preserve the vibrant color of the vegetables. Bu you don’t have to blanch your veggies if you like your veggies crunchy in the fried rice
Tip: Although fresh veggies are the best for Nigerian fried rice, frozen vegetables can also be used(after thawing).
5. Cooking the Rice: Place the reserved chicken stock in a large pot and bring it to a boil. The stock should be at a level nearly equal to the rice. If it’s not enough, you can add some water. As the stock boils, add the parboiled rice, seasoning cubes, curry powder, garlic powder, onions, and salt to taste. Cook on medium heat until it’s done, ensuring that the cooked rice isn’t soggy, too tender, or sticking together.
TIP; The cooked rice should not be soggy or too tender and the grains shouldn’t stick together either.
You can pour out the cooked rice into a wider pot and set aside.
6. Stir-frying the Vegetables: Heat up the vegetable oil and stir-fry the carrots, peas, green bell pepper, and diced liver/meat. Add white or black pepper, garlic, curry, and seasoning cube to taste. Stir-fry for about a minute and then transfer to a bowl.
The Rice is going to be fried in small batches, so you’ll have to divide the stir-fried vegetables into equal portions. The size of your frying pan/wok will determine how many portions you will have.
7. Pour a portion of the stir-fried mix into the frying pan, add the cooked rice, and stir-fry for approximately 2 minutes. Repeat this process for the remaining rice and veggie mix.
Tip: Do not overcrowd the pan, make sure there is a little space in the pan so that you can move the rice around the pan for even distribution of heat.
Repeat this process for the remaining rice and veggie mix.
Now , your Nigerian Fried Rice is Ready to be served. Pair it with with Moi- moi , Fried plantains, or your choice of meat, be it turkey, fish, beef, or chicken.
Savor this delightful dish that’s sure to tantalize your taste buds and bring joy to your dining table. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions About the Nigerian Fried Rice
Q1. While cooking the Nigerian fried rice, why did you fry the rice in batches?
A1: Frying the rice is what actually gave it the name ”Fried Rice”, so to make sure that all the grains get fried equally, it is best to fry in small batches. Frying in batches also helps to separate the rice grains and
gets all the ingredients and spices into every grain of rice, making it
taste better.
Q2. I have a very big frying pan, should I fry all the rice at once?
A2: If you have a big frying pan like the type used for cooking at big events ”agbari ojukwu” or ”Osi ite”, then you can try to fry it in
larger portions, but not all at once. The idea is to make sure that
every single grain gets fried. So for Nigerian Fried Rice, be patient and fry in small batches, your guest and family will thank you for your effort ☺.
Q3: Apart from the liver, are there any other alternatives meat that I can use for cooking Nigerian Fried Rice?
A3: There are several meat to choose from . You can usede-boned chicken, turkey or beef, that has been cooked and fried. I have tried each of these meat for making Nigerian Fried rice and they all came out delicious. So if you don’t like a particular meat, try using any of the above.
Q4: How do I preserve or store left over Nigerian Fried Rice, so that I can enjoy it again, without cooking from scratch?
A4: To enjoy your Nigerian Fried Rice over again, store it in an air -tight container, in the freezer(not fridge) within two hours of cooking the food. It will keep for up to 6 months in the freezer
– Don’t wait until the Rice has gone bad before placing it into your freezer.
– Do not put a hot meal in the freezer, let the Nigerian Fried Rice cool completely before storing it.
So whenever you need it, just defrost and warm it up in the microwave.
I just said a silent ”thank you” to William Cullen and Percy Spencer for inventing refrigeration & Microwaving ☺.
Q5: Whenever I cook Nigerian Fried Rice, It always goes bad within 8 hours of cooking, How do I keep it from going stale before all my guest leaves?
A5: This is one question I get all the time, so I’ll share how I keep mine fresh for longer periods .
No matter how delicious your Fried rice turns out, it doesn’t stay fresh for too long.
The Nigerian Fried Rice does go bad quickly but you can still preserve it, so that you can enjoy it for longer hours.
– First, after frying the rice, pour it out onto a wide dish or tray, do not place a lid over it immediately; Allow the steam to evaporate for a few minutes before transferring it into a food warmer.
– When serving the Nigerian Fried Rice, try to dish out the food from one side of the pot or food warmer ;don‘t stir the rice at every serve. From past experiences, I noticed that the side that doesn’t get touched, stays fresh for a longer period.
Hope these FAQs has been able to help you.
Enjoy your meal ☺

Nigerian Fried Rice : How to Cook Nigerian Fried Rice
Nigerian fried rice is a flavorful delight:
Discover the secret to making the perfect Nigerian fried rice.
Ingredients
- 500g long grain white Rice
- 500ml Chicken or Turkey stock/broth
- 100g Cow Liver (use beef as a substitute)
- 2 large Carrots
- 1 handful Green Peas or Runner Beans
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 Onion bulb
- 2-3 tablespoonful Curry Powder
- 1 teaspoonful Garlic Powder
- ½ tablespoonful Black or white pepper (optional)
- 2- 3 Cooking spoonful Vegetable Oil
- 2 stock cube or bouillon cube for Seasoning
- Salt (to taste)
- For serving the Fried Rice:
- 500g Chicken/Turkey thighs or drumsticks
- 1 teaspoon thyme(for cooking the chicken)
- 1 teaspoon curry (for cooking the chicken)
- 1 stock cube (for cooking the chicken)
- A few onion slices (for cooking the chicken)
Instructions
1. Prepare Chicken Stock: If you don't have stock, make it by placing chicken in a pot with 1 tsp thyme, 1 tsp curry, 1 stock cube, and onion slices. Cook for 10 minutes, then add more water and cook until done. Strain the liquid for the stock.
2. Prepare Liver (or substitute): Cook cow liver in a pot with seasoning cube and salt for 10 minutes. When cooled, cut into cubes. Liver can also be fried before cutting.
3. Parboil the rice following your preferred method and then place it in a sieve to drain excess water. Parboiling reduces the rice's starch content, preventing the grains from sticking together during cooking.
4. Prepare Vegetables: Wash, dice the onion, peel and cut carrots into small cubes, and prepare green bell peppers. Blanch carrots and green peas in boiling water.
5. Cook Rice: Place the reserved chicken stock in a pot, bring to a boil, and add the parboiled rice, seasoning cubes, curry powder, garlic powder, onions, and salt. Cook until done.
6. Stir-Fry Vegetables: Heat vegetable oil, add carrots, peas, green bell pepper, and diced liver/meat. Season with white/black pepper, garlic, curry, and seasoning cube. Stir-fry for 1 minute and set aside.
7. Fry Rice in Batches: Pour a portion of the stir-fried mix into the frying pan, add the cooked rice, and stir-fry for about 2 minutes. Don't overcrowd the pan, repeat for the remaining rice and veggie mix.
Notes
1. Homemade Chicken Stock: Creating your own stock from the chicken adds depth of flavor. Be sure to strain it to remove any small bones and particles.
2. Liver or Substitute: If you're not a fan of liver, you can use fried beef, chicken, or shrimp as a tasty alternative.
3. Parboiling Rice: Parboiling the rice reduces its starchy content, preventing clumping of grains during cooking. It's an essential step for achieving the right texture.
4. Blanching Vegetables: Blanching carrots and green peas helps maintain their vibrant color and partially cooks them, reducing stir-frying time.
5. Stock Level: Ensure the chicken stock is at nearly the same level as the rice. You can add water if needed to make sure it dries up completely when the rice is cooked.
6. Cooking Rice: When cooking the rice, be careful not to overcook it. The grains should not be soggy or too tender, and they shouldn't stick together.
7. Stir-Frying: To prevent overcrowding, fry the rice in small batches. Having enough space in the pan allows for even distribution of heat and better results.
8. Serving: Nigerian Fried Rice pairs well with Moi-moi, fried plantains, or a variety of meats like turkey, fish, beef, or chicken. Customize it to your preferences.

Can I use tumeric instead of curry for the coloring of the rice
And also can fresh pepper be use to cook fried rice ?
Author
Yes you can use Turmeric instead of curry, but be aware that
turmeric can sometimes have an overpowering flavor depending
on the quantity that is used, so if you want to use Turmeric
for you fried rice, make sure to add just a little,
and blend with other spices like thyme, garlic and ginger.
I like to add both curry powder and turmeric to enhance the
color and taste.
As for the fresh pepper, you can add just a little.
Please ma, can I add habanero pepper to my fried rice, and what type of Curry powder should I use?

Kudos! My question is am I going to pour vegetable oil inside the pan whenever I want to fry the rice in batches?
No Joke, the stir fried veggies you made in step 6 already has enough oil. So whenever you pour in a little of the veggie, you're also adding some of the oil that was stir fried with it.

Good day and thanks so much for your good work. Please i want to find out something. I ate salad that was prepared with pink and green coloured spring macroni, purple coloured leaf, beef and the normal salad ingredients. Please help me. How was it prepared, i mean the pink and green macroni. Was the colour added or how is it prepared. Thanks and God bless you abundantly. Merry Christmas!
Hi dear, it's nothing out of this world :)The macaroni is known as ''colored pasta'' and can be found at the stores.The purple leaf is known as ''red cabbage'', which is the purple specie of cabbage.You boil the macaroni and add it to the remaining salad ingredients, and that's all 🙂
Pls ma, some add spices to it to make it green…witout spices can it work out well? Cos I notice spices wasn't among d ingredients
The curry and chicken stock is what gives the rice it's color.You can add extra spices if you like. You can also blend 2 large green bell peppers and add to the chicken stock, this will give the rice a greener color.
how do i add curry to my rice and when
Please read the recipe, you'll see how and when curry was added.
