[@Kikifoodies]

Hi foodies, can I ask for a little favor? If you’ve tried my Jollof rice recipe and loved it, could you head over to my new website and leave a 5-star review? Your support means the world and will help me grow this exciting new chapter for Kikifoodies. Thank you so much! Here’s the link: kikifoodies.com/recipes/jollof-rice-2/

[@SinmiTumisile]

Pls Kiki kindly list out the measurements and ingredients to be used for cooking jollof rice for 50 guests. Many thanks and weldone ❤❤❤

[@weyimilandsinvestments]

Just dropped a review and a 5 star. Thanks for sharing. Wanted to ask what’s the green thing you added to your rice at the ending.

[@Kikifoodies]

@ thank you so much. I just garnished with chopped parsley

[@Kikifoodies]

@@weyimilandsinvestmentsthank you so much ❤❤

[@weyimilandsinvestments]

Sorry to bother you, I am trying to recreate your recipe. Did you have to stem the parsley or you just washed the vegetable and poured it directly on the cooked rice.

[@SotonyeFavourKalio-xf6md]

Your voice is so calm... well-done!!!

[@Snoo948]

By far one of the best tutorials for making jollof rice👍🏽👍🏽

[@Kikifoodies]

Glad you think so!

[@Makaina2]

So was craving Nigerian rice yesterday then suddenly I stumbled on this video. Watched jerky paying attention to all the steps. I even used the measurements she put up cause I was bent on having the perfect rice. When I tell you I didn’t everything and my rice came out perfect! Grainy,perfect color, taste. It’s the best I have ever cooked. Realised some of my mistakes previously was not using the right rice, rice to tomato ratio, opening the pot too often while cooking so wasn’t trapping enough steam and using a lot of water. I’m it even Nigerian but always ordered this delicacy from a local Nigerian restaurant. Now I hacked the code they are never seeing my coins 😂😂. Thanks so much Kiki and can’t wait to try other recipes

[@Kikifoodies]

I’m so happy for you and a little bit sad for your former Jollof vendor 😂

[@l.apastore4208]

Whats Nigerian rice? Cause jollof ain’t Nigerian

[@Makaina2]

@@l.apastore4208 but different countries cook it in different ways which gives different taste. It’s all jollof but they vary

[@l.apastore4208]

@@Makaina2 which has nothing to do with what I said. But yes, we agree. However, Jollof in its initial incarnation is from the Ivory Coast or Senegal. Often debated which comes first. But not Nigerian. Literally named after the Jolof Empire, Which now encompasses the French speaking part of West Africa.

[@liladance3506]

@@l.apastore4208 Oh, dear, they were being what is known as "diplomatic". A wise decision based on the bolshy tone of your original comment. I am not surprised their tact went right over your head. I actually checked to see if I was correct by searching for "NIgerian Jollof" and before I could even type "Rice" the entire drop down box showed 14 results for "Nigerian Jollof Rice" including "Nigerian vs Ghanaian Jollof", there is a big rivalry between them and Ghanians about who makes the best Jollof rice., so... are you from Ghana? In any case, PLEASE go to any one of those channels and repeat your ignorant comment, I double dog Dare you! 🤣

[@Kikifoodies]

Thanks so much for the love. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@divineokiemutini6082]

I really learnt alot from your videos especially this one. I always have difficulty to wash the pot after preparing jollof rice, but I have learned the easiest way today as I watched your video.Please keep up the good work. God bless you.

[@atxgurl00]

👍🏾 Amazing and easy to follow steps. Your professional videos on African classics is a breath of fresh air!

[@cyberslm6689]

Love it how you also showed us how to clean the pot,great recipe

Divine ⏱️ Timing! Yesterday I was thinking 🤔 about making some Jollof Rice 🍚 🌍!! Thank Ms. KiKi!!👍

[@Kikifoodies]

You are so welcome

[@douglasjohnbosco5236]

You're among the 1% truly enjoyed every bit of the show.., was educating and easily understanding. I taught i prepare my jollof professionally, using diff ingredients and at the end it doesn't give me that satisfying feel. Now I know wher to get it right. Thanks for the knowledge 👍🏻

[@islandspice2013]

Your voice is very beautiful. I love that you are not going to fast. This is what you call a teaching class. I have not yet tried making the jollof rice, but have always wanted to learn how to make it from watching my African Movies and you are the perfect teacher. I’m grateful for you and your teachings. Blessed you ❤️❤️. I will definitely visit your site. Thanks you, Thank you 😊🫶🏾

[@eniolaajayi3271]

Praise God for the gift of cooking and the ability to teach others to fully understand this recipe. This is very Excellent. Pls keep it up. And at the same time, the Lord asked me to tell people this; anyone that dies without His Holy Spirit baptism can never come up to heaven after death. Likewise anyone that does not have an Encounter with Him here on Earth before death will not be accepted into His Kingdom. Thanks

[@LivingInTheShade]

Everything looks delicious.

[@cool7654321]

wow I've learned and compared many jollof rices and this is the most comprehensive, most flavorful, while presented in such a clean and concise way.

[@sundewkani1202]

Your guide is quite simple, neat and straightforward. I'd give it a go!❤

[@Ntewak]

This rice is giving. This was quick and easy to follow

[@ENM60]

Kiki, I enjoy watching your videos because your explanation is very clear in addition to your soft voice ❤.

[@Kikifoodies]

And I love reading your comment because you flatter me and I love flattery 🤭

[@badjujuwan]

Roasting the veggies beforehand was such a game-changer. I make mine this way and the results are wonderful. I normally use African chicken because I like the broth, but the chicken can be a bit hard. I'll try with regular chicken the next time. I love cookware and quality tools like Staub, Vitamix or even the rice washing bowl make cooking so enjoyable. Thanks for sharing this recipe and Happy Holidays!

[@Frogs2500]

Always wanted to prepare this recipe, but I wanted to make sure that the right preparations would be needed for the end result to be perfect, for this is not a quck rush. Thank you for sharing from Maryland ❤

Hey, I'm working as a chef, and we cook food from all over the world,we have jollof rice in the menu as well,but we need to cook it in the oven in big trays, because we cook 20 kg of rice, what temperature do you think it should be cook and for how long? (We put the rice,the sauce,water,in the trays,cover with paper and aluminium foil and bake it).Till now we cook twice,but we still need to learn more to make it perfect , thank you for your recipe 😊
