This morning on Wake Up Nigeria, Chef Ofe taught us how to ‘wake up sleeping rice.’
This simply means how to enjoy leftover plain rice with a combination of veggies; creating fried rice from previously cooked rice. It’s a quick meal intended to help you not waste your rice, you’ll just be doing some frying and tossing together in less than 30 minutes.
The INGREDIENTS:
Onions
Spring Onions
Grated Garlic
Green Peas
Meat stock
Beef
Sweet Corn
Red and Green Bell Peppers
Carrots
Runner Beans
Cooked Rice
Plantain
Spices
Seasonings
Oil
Salt
Step by step process:
Fry your previously boiled beef as well as your plantain.
Stir fry your onions and garlic, then add carrots, runner beans, bell peppers with the seasoning.
Turn in your cooked rice, batch by batch, and fry well.
Taste for extra seasoning and add if, necessary. (don’t forget the meat stock)
The last item to go in, is the sweet corn.
The peas will be used for garnishing because they are soft and we don’t want to overcook them.
