What would you do if you found out that the
Jollof Rice you are cooking is already soft, yet
contains lots of water?
How would you finish cooking the Jollof Rice
without the rice getting any softer?

use a spoon and part the rice from 2-3 sides(not turning), leave the pot half closed and the water dries off quicker... works well except if u've added too much water to it..

Find paper ,preferably newspaper and spread it over the pot and cover it making it air tight on low heat,it will absorb the excess water

Omo i dey tell you .

Hey darling; all you can do is drain the water away by seiving it and then put it back on fire covering it with foil on the lowest heat possible; so basically drain off all the water and put back on fire to dry up... I have an easy way here:- http://saiprojectscooking..co.uk/2013/02/jollof-rice-with-peri-peri-chicken-and.html hope it helps hun?

Just drain the water and add little more ingredients and you are good to go as it will be almost as if nothing happened.

spread it under the sun

i'd increase the fire used in cooking to the highest possible and leave the pot open. Also i wont stir the rice much to avoid turnin it to mash. Has worked for me
