Perfume: Garlic, onions and ginger. There is no Ghanaian recipe without a combination of flavors
Rice in the past: The preferred rice of choice in Ghanaian households is Thai long-grain rice. It is starchy and slightly sticky. But you can use any old rice you have.
Vegetable: Ghanaian fried rice doesn’t have a lot of vegetables. Usually green pepper, green onion and grated carrot. Beautiful and simple. I actually grated the broccoli stem for this recipe because I had to use all of it but you can completely omit or omit this part with the chopped green bell pepper. Carrots are required but everything else is optional
Tofu: this is optional, it serves as an egg and meat substitute and adds some protein to the dish
Spice: My mom made this with all the spices, curry powder, onion powder and garlic so that’s the seasoning for this recipe too. You can add more or less seasoning if you want but I would recommend keeping a versatile condiment/dish for extra flavor.
