Cameroon fried rice recipe
Do you feel some job requirements are strange? Yes, I felt that way too, and this is my story.
I applied for a project manager role, and its requirements was making a video of my favorite dish from preparation to serving, paying keen attention to details alongside nutritional values.
Then, I thought of making a video of garri and sugar(popular, affordable, and life-saving) 😅 . You know, including milk, pear, and why not some mayonnaise just how I love it. It is nutritional and delicious too but then, I thought of the international community, so I went with fried rice.
According to the methods,
1.Meat preparation:
I use beef (or chicken). Well, I’ve never really tried goat meat..😆. For spices, I use Maggi, salt, hot pepper, and onions.
💡: Meat should taste good. Do not put too much water, and keep in mind you need some meat sauce for rice preparation.
2. Rice preparation:
Main ingredients include rice, sauce from the cooked meat, garlic, ginger, thyme, rosemary, rice spice, curry powder (for coloring), white pepper, garlic, ginger (optional), Maggi, salt (bear in mind, you had used some in the meat).
💡: I use Uncle Ben parboil rice(or any other which is not too starchy well, to avoid mushy rice).
3. Vegetable preparation:
I poured groundnut oil into a preheated pot, added onions, and stir. Then I put my green spices(parsley, celery, “cutting manjoh”, ( okay scratch that, it’s called basil), green pepper, and leeks) and stir to cook. Then, I put in my vegetables (carrots, green beans, can corn, can peas, and chopped meat).
💡: Add salt and Maggi for taste. Do not overcook the vegetables.
4. Mixing:
This is the last step of my fried rice preparation. I put in small groundnut oil, and a bit of butter. When heated, I add vegetables. After heating, the cooked rice is added. I mix gently until uniform, then transfer it into a cooler, and continue the process.
Tip: I use butter for a shiny look
P.S: For some reason, I do not use sachet spices. 😥
