ANSWERS 2 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1• Can you make a smaller version? Answer •• YES 👉🏽kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ib-EqdWL27q5f4E.html 2• Why did you wash the rice with salt? Answer•• This is a practice I picked from my grandma, and for real I find it to help remove some of the surface starch and prevent clumping. Parboiling the rice until it is al’dente is one known way to remove starch from rice but except you’ve done that a couple of times and mastered how fast it takes to get to that point, you may overcook the rice hence I find this method ( washing with salt and warm water ) easier to achieve the goal. TIP** Cosher salt will do a better job than the fine salt. 3•• WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR BLENDER FROM AND WHAT IS THE BRAND? Answer•• The name of the blender is called AAOBOSI , and I bought it from amazon. The last time I checked, this item www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4N9X4R/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_fab_iguDFbQM0MMS8 is no longer available but I’m sure you’ll find something similar. 4•• WHERE CAN I GET THAT POT? Answer•• I bought the pot from restaurant depot. You can check the pot section of any Asian Store as well. It’s called a pit pot. Here’s a link www.amazon.com/dp/B00164SID0/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_api_fab_DLhGFbPMXD8WT 5•• WHY DID YOU COVER THE RICE WITH FOIL PAPER Answer•• I did that to help retain steam in the pot. The steam helps to cook the rice without adding much water. 6••DOES ADDING BUTTER TO THE RICE CHANGE THE TASTE? AND IS IT DETECTABLE? Answer•• It doesn't change the taste and it's not detectable in a bad way , it adds a rich taste to the rice and then again It gives it some shine. 7••• PLEASE WHERE CAN I FIND THE DESCRIPTION BOX? Answer•• Click on the topic of this video. ( how to cook jollof rice for a get together) a page will open up underneath it. That’s the description box area. You’ll find the recipe for this jollof rice there. 8••• WHAT TYPE OF RICE DID YOU USE? ANSWER.. I used the long grain parboiled rice for this recipe. Most of every other questions was answered in the video. I’m sure if you watch again with full attention you’ll find the answer to your question. :)

Lol. I came to learn to how to cook for two people. Sis said nah, we will be eating for days.

I love how she makes mistakes and admits it... so relatable

I just want to say thank you so much. My husband is Nigerian I’m American and your chanel has helped me so much to cook the meals he loves. Thanks!!!

I am from Mauritius and my ex-boyfriend was Nigerian. I learnt how to make jollof rice and stew for him, him and his friends would always love it and tell me how I am already part of them now. Nigerians and food, a freaking love story. Can’t wait to visit someday 🥰

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy we did it sissy, we hit 1M view, nobody deserves it more than you mama, you have a pure heart and God will continue to bless you my Twin. I love you soooooo much😘✌🏽❤️

I’m Mexican American and let me tell you it looks so good. I’ve never seen Nigerian food 🥘 I can tell it brings people together

Thank you so much for showing me how to cook jolof rice perfectly. I am Zimbabwean and have loved jolof for 18yrs but never thought I could ever cook. My first attempt before giving up was 2011. My son was 2yrs at the time. After cooking dinner, I called him to come and eat. When he got to the table and looked at it, he said, "Mom,it doesn't look righr", and wouldn't eat it. I knew ge qA right because I had tasted it as well and it didn't taste anything like what we had eaten at our Nigerian friends.But guess what? I did it all thanks to you. My Nigerian friends say its so good and can't believe I cooked it all by myself . I cooked 18 cups like you did and now my freezer is packed full and I don't see myself cooking again until end of January as its only my 11 year old son and myself. I am so proud of myself. You are a great teacher. Thank you

The rice at the end looked so good I am crying 😭 over here. I come back to this video and watch every now and then, it’s so delicious looking! I love how it all comes together.

You’re so REAL, I enjoyed the way you humbly admitted to mistakes, kudos sis, will definitely try it this way.

I have lived in Nigeria for 5 years. I loved jollof rice, Finally got the recipe, Thanks. Love from Pakistan.

I’m American and I really enjoy learning her recipes because I love African food. She gives good instructions to follow.

You're so joyful and your singing and praising yourself towards the end reminded me of how my mum celebrated her cooking which was always amazing. Thank you!

Best jollof rice video ever!!!!! If you have to watch one video, this is the video to watch!!!!!!!!

"Nothing will waste here o.. I'll rinse it out"😂 typical Nigerian woman, we don't waste things cha cha

I’m just waking up to the flavors of the continent. The way you use spices and chilis is just signing to my spirit!!!

As a chef, I feel very proud of you, dear Joyful cook. Your starting presentation of ingredients required for your recipe was very professional. You can teach, lecture student would-be-chefs accurately. Secondly, the manner you always owed up to your mistakes or error in the course of executing your recipe, cooking depicts grave humility and professionalism. I love and respect you for this. Many never acknowledge the slightest of errors or mistakes Thirdly, the manner in which you added humour and some entertainment entertainment made the viewing experience enjoyable Finally, your recipe execution was excellent! Keep up the good work, Joyful! I love you! You are the real definition of beauty and brains in a woman and a mother! Jerry Nwaokolo Chef Delarosa 21:25

I haven't cooked jollof rice in years because i wasn't confident with it so we usually ordered from a caterer. I watched this recipe yesterday and tried it today.. OMG!!!!!!. Son: wow jollof rice, who cooked it? Mum: I did (with pride 😁) Even my husband did a double take when he looked on the cooker 🤣😅. Son: This is very nice, it tastes like you ordered it. Mum *smiles* Thank you very much for this recipe. I will be coming here often for more 💖🎈😘

I'm Ghanaian and I will be using some your tips like using the red bell pepper, shallots, the heavy hand of thyme, clove powder and the onion, tomatoes & butter at the end!!! Look delicious 😋😍👌

British Pakistani here. It’s amazing how similar our cultures cook rice. I’ve made and tried jollof - it’s amazing! I may add a little south Asian twist the next time I make it by adding more chilli😅. It’s amazing. Gonna make it again soon!!

I appreciate how she’s not wasteful

Best Jollof rice tutorial ever!

If you have such a woman treat her lovingly, give her gifts and many compliments. If you have a mother like that, carry her in your hands.

When a woman is beautiful and she know how to cook, she is a queen. Great job!!

I enjoyed this! I’m dating a Nigerian and I love being able to embrace his culture to include the food, we love to eat lol 😂 between his Nigerian culture and my West Indian culture we eat good 🤗

I swear I could smell it! That's exactly the kind of seasonings I love.

Typical African wey for teach person for cook. Measurements are done with the eyes, timing is done with the tongue ... Thank you hanty hahaha

Couldn't resist watching when the video popped up 😃, one of the realest no forming KZfaq video I've seen 😍

Thank you so much for this recipe! I've made it more than a few times for my family, and they love it! My dad's nigerian and he always eats a lot and praises it. I really appreciate this because it puts smiles on my family's faces and helps me connect with my nigerian roots :)

I am a Nigerian diaspora and I can’t wait to try and cook food from the motherland thank you 🙏🏽

Wow, super yummy 😋 😋.I love this

😂😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s the way she was moving for me. This was second nature to her. No long ting, she didn’t talk to much, everything she said made sense. I clicked for a good recipe but I subscribed because her humour was everything 💕💕💕💕

I’m from singapore and i’ve always looked at nigerian food recipes. so far this is the best i’ve came across, the energy of this lady 😍🤣🤣🤣

No doubt that the delicious rice dishes we eat in the different countries of Latin America originally came from Africa, and then some things were added by the Spaniards and the indigenous people. Delicious!!!! 8 had never seen the preparation of an authentic African dish. Thank you for showing and explaining it so well.

I made this exactly the way you showed it! This came out AMAZING! None of my previous jollofs came out as good as this one. Thank you so much for this👍

Listen Im Haitian🇭🇹and this is how our Grandmas use to cook rice in Haiti👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾Bravo Very Nice and I will do it. Thank You

I really enjoyed watching this especially when you started singing, Tu face song...Yes o, Yes o, yes o....lol. Jollof on point, im trying this recipe.

This is 2023 and I followed her recipe to cook Jollof on Christmas Day and this is the first time I got it right!😭 my mom admits that this is the best Jollof she has eaten! Thank you so much!❤❤❤

I am not Nigerian but I love Jollof 🫣. Every time I want to make Jollof rice I come back here🥲🙏🏾 This time am back, I want to make it for my family this Christmas 🥰 thanks your video helps ❤️🇮🇪

I like the way you generously added season cubes. I sometimes watch some cooking videos where the person cooking will add just one cube and I am sure they will add more with the camera away because I know for the quantity of food they are cooking one cube will not be enough but they dont want to add more cos of what people will say. Thank you for being real.
