Fried Rice and Vegetable Stew |
“Me NCC Fambul dem una
ardu O” Hello NCC Family! Hope you’ve all had a wonderful weekend. Today’s
blog post is Fried Rice and Vegetable Stew. Fried Rice is one of the most popular
dishes when it comes to party food. If you’ve been to a Sierra Leonean
event this dish was most definitely on the menu. “The Sierra Leonean Fried Rice”
is slightly different from your Oriental Fried Rice. The egg is omitted from the
rice and beef is added instead to the dish.
Soya sauce is used for colour however, I prefer Worcestershire sauce for taste and colour. The photos show ingredient for serving for up to 30
people therefore, please follows the ingredient amount and steps below to try
out this recipe. As always questions, comments and suggestions are always
welcomed. Aprons on!
