Add your onions
Add your seasoning cube and salt
Coconut rice consume a lot of salt but you have to be careful when adding the salt
Add your blended crayfish
Add your rice and stir very well so that the ingredients can go round
Put the pot on the fire
As the rice is cooking, taste to see if all the ingredients are enough or you do justice by adding more
Don’t stir the pot
Allow your rice to cook
Taste your rice to see if it’s soft or you need to add the coconut water
Make sure your ingredients are enough
Allow the rice to dry
Once you notice that your rice has dried
Use coconut oil or very little vegetable oil to fry your hot dog or liver
Add your veggies and seasoning to the frying hot dog or liver
Let it fry for a while
Make sure the oil is not following the fried veggies to the pot of rice
Once the rice is properly dried
Add your fried veggies and stir
Your coconut rice is ready
Best served with a chilled drink
