 <\/p>\n

This recipe is quick and easy, combining fluffy rice, creamy coconut milk, and your favorite Nigerian flavors for a satisfying meal that’s perfect for any time of day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So gather your ingredients, fire up the stove, and let’s start cooking!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Instructions<\/p>\n

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat until it shimmers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Add onions and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Toss in bell peppers, carrots, and scotch bonnet pepper (if desired). Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened but still crisp.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. Add curry powder, thyme leaves, and ginger. Stir well for 30 seconds to release the flavors of the spices.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Season generously with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. Add the cooked rice and gently fold it into the mixture, ensuring all the rice is coated with the coconut milk and spices. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the rice is heated through and the flavors have blended.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

7. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for another minute until heated through.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lime juice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

9. Serve your coconut fried rice garnished with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tips and variations<\/p>\n

– For a richer flavor, use toasted coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.<\/p>\n

– Add shredded chicken, shrimp, or tofu for added protein.<\/p>\n

– Experiment with other vegetables such as green beans, corn kernels, or chopped cabbage.<\/p>\n

– Adjust the spice level by adding more or less scotch bonnet pepper.<\/p>\n

– Serve with your favorite side dishes like fried dodo.<\/p>\n
