Nigerian fried rice is one of the most popular rice recipes in Nigeria. It is a party favourite at lots of gatherings. The best part about this dish is that you can customise it to your taste. You can add shrimps or if you are vegetarian leave that out and put in more vegetables. It is filling so works well on its own or as a main dish with fish stew.
