Chinese.…….………….……Take out
Ok I wrote all that because I wanted to illustrate that anytime I hear Chinese I simultaneously think takeout. I love Chinese meals “I no go lie”.
It’s an easy meal to make, hardly taking much time to cook except the preparation stage which involves a lot of chopping.
I modified this recipe of fried rice to make it more Nigerian this is achieved by adding curry to the rice. Chinese don’t add curry to their rice.
Ingredients
For the Rice
2 Cups Rice
1 Tbsp Curry powder
1 large Onions, thinly sliced
3 cloves Garlic, sliced
250 g Shrimps
250 g Shrimps
Mixed veggies (carrots, Peas, sweet corn, red and green peppers)

Oil.
For the Sauce
500g beef
2 Tbsp chopped ginger
1 Tbsp chopped garlic
1 tsp chili flakes
2 Tbsp soy sauce
Seasoning
2 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp Corn starch
2 cups water

Chives for garnishing
- Boil the rice as you would normally cook it add the curry powder to the rice. Once the rice is done allow it to cool down a bit you can transfer it into a colander to hasten the cooling process.
- In a frying pan heat 3 tbsp of oil sauté the onions and the garlic until translucent add the veggies and the shrimp cook until the shrimps turn pinkish white. You can add any cube seasoning of your choice. Add the boiled rice, sprinkle the sugar on top the rice and keep stirring for about 3 minutes, seasoning with salt. Set the rice aside
