Ewa you need cooking lessons. Are you Nigerian? Basmati rice for Nigerian fried rice? Hahahahaha. Nigerians like their fried rice grainy and a little chewy but soft. Basmati rice cannot accomplish that. You need long grain rice o

Ogiri and palm oil for fried rice... please abeg don't kill me here with laugh. You are a comedian. Even shaki Kwakwakwakwakwa. Find a grand mother in the village and let her teach you the fundamentals of cooking. This up here is poison.

hian!! So u have now come to criticise someone else's cooking skills ahbi?

Yes I am proudly nigerian and my tribe is known for cooking so well! And what of it?

A lot of Nigerian use d basmati rice this days abeg, especially in london but I use d jasmine one sef because it has sweeter aroma and not fat and ugly like d normal long grain. I don't cook wit long grain anymore

crayfish is a substitute for d seafood/shrimp and you can't have crayfish without putting dawadawa becsuse that adds to the authentic taste. This na common knowledge. And you say you sabi cook?

shaki is just a nice protein, you cud put torototo, stockfish, chicken, beef sef. People put fish

what will a village grandma know about cooking fried rice. their own is local dishes like soup and yam bean porridge, fried rice is parry/ajebo food and is those under 60 that will know how to cook it.

ok palm oil will gives it just little more of authentic taste which complement d crayfish and reddens it so you don't have put tomato to get that jollofy colour, though no to red. But if is still lacking in colour you can put more tumeric and tomato ketchup

this one you no dey respond to any of my points sef. Was wrong wit crayfish and ogiri okpei in fried rice? Was wrong wit jasmine rice? I even put d normal groundnut oil sef

Nigerian fried rice has a green color, not red. So you don't need palm oil. Only vegetable oil, not groundnut oil. Also okpei is not for fried rice but traditional soups, same with crayfish. We don't make shaki and assorted with fried rice. We boil cows liver, chop it and fry to add to the fried rice. Nigerian fried rice is not fried in a pan, that is Chinese fried rice. You got it all wrong. Watch some YouTube videos. This your food as of now is only for those who wish to die soon.

Groundnut oil flavor is too strong for fried rice. Don't worry about my tribe but I will knock you out with delicious fried rice. Use YouTube to learn the dishes. This your style go turn bele, come purge person. For Nigerian fried rice you may fry the ingredients but you turn the fried ingredients in the pot of rice boiled with meat water. Don't use the water of shaki or assorted to boil the rice, their smell is too strong. Use beef or chicken water. It's tastier and the flavour is not over powering.

Turkey is ok too. It's better when it's long grain, basmati rice may work too but it won't taste the same

You have to cook according to flavors. Do you want your jollof to have a nutty taste. You can try and see the outcome. I personally prefer to use vegetable oil which has a more neutral flavour than groundnut oil. But I guess with tomato, it could work. You can try it. Cooking is like experimenting. With time you will know what works with what. It takes experience to be good at cooking. Where are you from by the way?
Re: Naija Fried Rice by Probz(m): 7:02pm On Apr 11, 2017
How come you're now using palm oil when you've been advocating ketchup as a healthier substitute?
