The rooms consists of eight students each with their gas cylinders.

The school allowed usage of gas cylinders with the condition that students are not allowed to cook in their rooms but the kitchen only.

But students can be very stubborn and no one wants the hardship of carrying their gas cylinder along with foodstuffs to and fro the kitchen. So we check out for the hall admin, lock the door and cook in our rooms.

Sometimes, one or two people cooked at the same time while the rest of the roommates use their phones.

I was one of those that cooked inside the room, sometimes using my phone torchlight when there is no light. This happened for over a year until I came to know that using a smart phone while a cooking gas is turned on causes explosion.

So of course I started asking, what about those living in the hostel?

A roommate told us that it is only making phone calls that causes the explosions. Even then, I didn't know what to believe. Back at home my siblings always shout at me when I am about to enter the kitchen with my phone.

Disclaimer: this article was not written to falsify the claim that Android phones and cooking gas causes explosion. Just something I'm confused about.

And please continue to be careful and take measures while using a gas cylinder anywhere, smell the kitchen first before lighting the gas to avoid explosion due to gas leaks.

Avoid getting too distracted with your phone while using the kitchen and cooking.

In this article, I will teach you 3 different methods of cooking fried rice, but before we proceed, here are the important ingredients used in making it.

 

Ingredients You need to cook fried Rice 

 

Rice

Oil

Seasoning

Vegetables (e.g cabbage, bell pepper, green beans, onions)

Curry

The methods of cooking fried rice:

1. Steaming:

In this method, the rice is parboiled and drained, then all the vegetables are fried with curry and seasonings.

After that the parboiled rice is mixed with the fried vegetables and seasoning then steamed till it is ready.

2. Frying:

This method is usually applied when cooking in bulk for ceremonies or events. Wash the rice and put in a pot,

pour some oil in it and fry over low heat while stirring till the rice becomes light and a little reddish, drain the oil and put the vegetables, seasoning and curry.

Cook with water until it is ready. Due to the frying, the rice never looks like jollof or overcooked and too soft.

 

3. Cooking:

this method is mostly easy when you know how to do it well.

The rice is cooked and the vegetables fried separately with all the seasoning and curry,

little oil is then added to a pan over low heat and the rice and vegetables are mixed. It is then left to cook for 3 minutes.

But too much stirring will spoil the rice as it will look soft.

Note: Adding meat to fried rice is optional but nice although liver goes well and better with fried rice.

 

Fried rice is also eaten with coleslaw.
