Easy and fast : baby rice

in HiveGhana9 months ago (edited)

Hi guys ,
if you stay alone you’ve probably been in a situation where you get back home so exhausted that you can’t cook but have to cook to eat ,or where you dont want to buy takeaway food .

These situations is basically my life at school , I get back from lectures and I am so so exhausted, plus I have deadlines to meet. Just when I’m relieved I’m home my belly starts to ring the hunger bell faster . But anyway this is not a problem for me 😌. As a final year undergrad student I have mastered the skill of fast cooking . And all these years I have harnessed it to its finest lol. FYI my roomie nicknamed me Fast Fast 😂.

I have cooked different foods very quick . But the fastest is noodles ( indomie ) . I don’t think it would be fair if I am to consider noodles because literally anyone can cook noodles fast . when I say noodles you know what I mean not the garnished ones 😂 .

Baby rice is what I usually cook fastest
All I need is my rice,pepper, tomatoes, oil salt, shrimp powder plus carrots, onions ,turmeric , green pepper and eggs .
When I say baby rice I mean braised rice

First thing I do is to get my cooking pot ready on the gas and pour oil about 5 spoons , I don’t usually measure I just look at the quantity I poured in and decide if it will be enough.
Next, I put sliced onion into the pot
then leave it to fry till it starts to turn brown then I add my rice. I add salt and turmeric powder just a bit . Sometimes I use curry powder instead of turmeric sometimes I do not use at all . After , I stir fry for about 5mins on not very high heat . Then I pour water into the pot depending the quantity of rice I added . Then leave it to boil.
Next is chopping my green pepper, carrot and onions again . note that I wash them before chopping oo😂
The next thing I do is too wash my pepper and tomatoes then I add onions, salt , small shrimp powder and small oil and blend, i add oil for it to blend smoothly.
I usually boil or fry eggs , sometimes too I use sausage or sardine instead of egg. 😂when My pockets are still heavy I do both
After all this cutting and blending ,my rice would have been done by then. Voila Food is ready .. it’s chop time !!
So fast huh? I don’t usually time my self but I think roughly I use like 30 to 40 minutes to cook my baby rice.
Do you think 30 minutes is fast ?

Thanks for your time ,hope you liked my post !
See you in my next post

Sort:  

I never knew there was a rice called baby rice? Sounds interesting..
I think i know it as cury rice here in my area.. Its good to know that aside indomie, there re other fast cooking dishes.

😂😂well I grew up knowing it as baby rice. I’m there are other names as well . it’s fast if you also work fast

I think i love the name more than the food..lol

Wait oo Is it this rice you post that you're talking about or another one? This meal looks like one that would take hours to cook

Yes it’s that rice . It’s not time consuming if only you want to do it fast and my way

Woah. I am surprised to hear that.

Please how do you do it?

Read the post . I wrote about it in the post

Read the post . I wrote about it in the post

I read through it and my confusion was how you did not mention the part about you making stew yet there is stew in the food

Oh nice
I didn’t even know adding oil to pepper
Makes it smooth to blend
I’ve learned a new thing today

Adding water makes it too watery so I use oil instead 🙂

Oh that’s a good hack

40 minutes is a lot of time for me. Just prepare tea for me to drink.😂😂😂

Your food looks really delicious. Invite me home sometime.

Eei tea 😂 Tea won’t do anything oo.
Okay I will 😂

I will manage.😂😂
