Nigerian Fried Rice
Nigerian fried rice is a colorful and flavor-packed dish made with parboiled rice stir-fried with mixed vegetables, liver, and a savory seasoned stock that gives it a uniquely rich taste. Unlike Chinese fried rice, it is cooked in well-seasoned meat stock first before being stir-fried which creates layers of deep savory flavor.

Instructions
Parboil the Rice in Stock
Pour the seasoned chicken stock into a pot and bring to a boil. Add the washed rice, bouillon cube, and salt. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is three-quarters cooked and has absorbed most of the stock. Remove from heat.
Stir-Fry the Liver
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or wide pan over high heat. Add the diced chicken liver and stir-fry for 5 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Stir-Fry the Vegetables
In the same pan, add the mixed vegetables and stir-fry over high heat for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender but still vibrant in color.
Combine and Fry the Rice
Add the parboiled rice to the pan and toss everything together over high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is fully cooked, dry, and lightly toasted. Add the liver back in and serve hot.
