HERE Is How I Made The Best Fried Rice & Beans - Chinwe Uzoma Kitchen

black-eyed peas

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: canned beans

Quinoa is a protein-rich alternative, while canned beans save prep time.

vegetable oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil offers healthier fats, while canola is often less expensive.

bell pepper

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: cabbage

Zucchini adds nutrients, while cabbage is a budget-friendly option.

green peas

🥗Healthier: edamame

💰Cheaper: frozen peas

Edamame is protein-rich, while frozen peas are cost-effective.

Chop onions, ginger, and garlic.

Transfer washed chicken wings to a pot and add preferred spices, mixing well.

Add a little water to the pot, cover, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes.

Check the chicken to ensure it remains intact after cooking.

Scoop the chicken out of the stock.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan and fry the chicken until golden brown.

In the same oil, add chopped onions and Curry leaves, frying until translucent.

Add chopped red, green, and yellow bell peppers, paprika powder, white pepper, and seasoning cubes, mixing well.

Add rice and 80% cooked black-eyed peas to the mixture and mix thoroughly.

Pour in chicken stock and enough water to cover the ingredients, tasting for salt and adjusting seasoning as needed.

Cover with parchment paper or foil to trap heat and cook on medium to low heat until the mixture dries up, checking to avoid burning.

Once dried, add the fried chicken on top of the rice to heat it up.
