I'm back again with another coconut milk inspired meal and now I know what you're thinking so let me just say ''NO'' I don’t go looking out for them like a bloodhound! I visited a friend and she was making it and so na so I jam coconut milk inspired meal again. I took pictures of the process and decided to share. I asked her for the name but she couldn’t tell me so I decided to name the food in her honour. It is 'Nneka's Chinese inspired meal' Lets go there. You'll need 1. Chicken 2. Carrot (N100 should do) 3. Spring Onions (N50) 4. Sweet corn 5. Green peas (you can buy that small type that mallam tie and sell in small nylon - N100) 6. Salt 7. Black Pepper (while replicating this dish, I personally used the small green type used in making fried rice. I would advise you to skip our regular atarodo for it will completely alter the subtle taste of the sauce) 8. Seasoning of your choice 9. Large Bell pepper (N50 - N100) 10. Cornstarch (3 to 4 tablespoons of cornstarch) 11. Sweet chilli and garlic stir fry sauce 12. Light soy sauce 13. Rice 14. 3 Eggs 15. Garlic 16. Curry powder (a teaspoon) 17. Thyme 18. Groundnut oil 19. Coconut milk 20. Onion |

Process • Cook your white rice as normal but just before the water dries off, crack your eggs and stir. Then add a little salt into your cracked eggs and pour over the rice. Allow it firm up a bit. Now empty the sweetcorn from the can and drain. Divide the sweet corn into two. You will use one half for the rice and the other half for the sauce. After the egg goes into the rice, add one half of the sweet corn in as well. • Now set aside once the egg is cooked and sweet corn goes in. • Boil your chicken as you would normally do and when it is ready, set aside (my friend didn’t fry her chicken but if you want to fry or grill yours, feel free)

• Now to the sauce. Pour groundnut oil (just a little, half a cooking spoon would do. Less for the more concious cooks) in a pot or pan. Allow to heat then add the diced onions, pepper, spring onions (please use half of your spring onions at this stage), garlic and toss around. • Now add HALF of the diced carrot, bell pepper and allow to incorporate. Don’t put in the sweetcorn or green peas at this stage because you don’t want to overcook them. You should do this at the tail end. Next add the coconut milk (my friend used a full coconut and this meal served 4 people with left over sef)

• Include your seasoning, salt, sweet chilli and soy sauce. If you love some more pepper now is the time to sprinkle more in. Don’t forget your curry and thyme. • Add your chicken (my friend had already boiled her chicken a bit so she just tossed it in at this stage to allow the flavour seep in. If you'd rather fry your chicken you can do that but add it in at this point so the flavour seeps in) • Allow the coconut milk simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes but keep watching it. Remember you have vegetables in it and it shouldn’t boil over or cook for too long. Just long enough to heat up a bit. You don’t even need to place a lid and walk away. 1 Like

My friend used up the whole sachet of the sweet chilli and garlic sauce. She used about two table spoons of the soy sauce

• Now place about 2 to 3 table spoon of cornstarch in a bowl and add small water to it. The idea is to thicken the sauce. Let your cornstarch and water mixture run a bit i.e. not too thick or too thin. Now pour into your pot and watch as the sauce thickens. There is no hard and fast rule here. If you feel your sauce is too thin after allowing it simmer a bit, you can add in another teaspoon of corn starch. Just ensure you mix it up with water first before throwing it into your cooking pot! • Now is the time to add the rest of your vegetables which you saved. Add the remaining carrot, bell pepper, spring onions. Finally add the green peas and sweet corn. Saving half of your vegetables at the end allows the meal remain fresh and slightly crunchy. Leave for a minute or so then turn off.

okirewaju: You can skip the eggs and just make it plain white rice. There is no hard and fast rule to it. |
