A festive Nigerian-style fried rice loaded with fluffy basmati rice, jumbo prawns, beef, liver, hotdogs and colourful vegetables.

Special Fried Rice is the celebratory rice dish Nigerians serve at parties, family gatherings and holiday tables. It is lighter and more aromatic than jollof, with each grain of basmati rice stir-fried in a hot pan alongside tender beef, liver, juicy prawns, hotdogs and a rainbow of vegetables. The secret is cooking the rice in flavourful stock first, cooling it completely, then flash-frying everything over high heat so the ingredients stay crisp and separate.
