Cooking tips

  • Wash rice until the water runs mostly clear to remove excess starch.
  • For fried rice, use cooked rice that has cooled completely.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my jollof rice mushy?

Usually too much liquid or too much stirring. Add stock gradually and let the rice steam undisturbed.

How do I store cooked rice safely?

Cool it within an hour, refrigerate, and eat within 1–2 days. Reheat until piping hot.
