This is the same NIGERIAN method of cooking Jollof Rice. But we soak & wash our par boiled rice to remove the starch. Awesome job!! ❤

[@Tissaleha2358]

Hi there I just bought some parboiled rice... how long should I soak it before cooking?

[@Mywatercrystaltv]

@salehasalleh2358 -- 15 mins is fine. Be careful adding water otherwise ur Jollof Rice will be too soft.

[@Samhawk88]

Jazakallahu khair sister for the tip.

[@ELLAWARD]

@@Tissaleha2358just boil it a little, when the water changes color it means that the starch is out. Then drain it and rinse with cold water. Before you add it to the tomato paste sauce

[@JohnSmith-tv7le]

Hey Bro I love your videos they are awesome. But next time can you tell us the quantities of the ingredients would be super helpful.

[@moa5351]

Loll... no quantities required. The hotter and spicier you want it to be, the more habaneros. 1 habenero is usually more than enough for a regular pot (4 cups of rice), even half is sufficient if you can't tolerate heat. 3 Bell peppers. 1 large onion to blend and half and onion to fry with the tomato paste (3 or 4 tsp is ok). Other seasonings to taste... don't use too much curry... 1 to 2 tsp is enough. 1 to 2 cups chicken stock. Salt to taste.

[@JohnSmith-tv7le]

@@moa5351 thanks so much for getting back to me bro. I made the Joloff and it turned out great keep up the good work my man 💪🏼

[@moa5351]

@@JohnSmith-tv7le I forgot to add... like 10 tomatoes and 3 tsp of tomato paste/puree to fry with the chopped onions.

[@fantasma8253]

When you cook rice the liquid to rice ratio IS THE MOST IMPORTANT. Anyone who follows this shxt to the letter will always end up fucking up the rice. You don’t know how much rice you should use nor do you know how much sauce you should use. They just say to mix it together as if it’s no way you’re gonna make the soggiest rice ever

[@cathyluv08]

Why didn’t you soak the rice for about an hour ? If you do so the rice becomes fluffy and more tender when cooked. Next time must try it.
