Nigerian fried rice recipe is one of the best exports out of Africa. It is perfectly okay to call this recipe West African fried rice because we generally cook fried rice the same way across West Africa – Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Togo, Cotonou, etc. You can also call this dish vegetable fried rice because it uses tons of veggies, and you can easily make this fried rice recipe vegan by swapping only one ingredient (yes, it is that easy).
