- wide pan
- large pan

## Tips

- Debone fish properly: For a more enjoy bite take the time to thoroughly debone the smoked fish, especially catfish, as even small bones can disrupt the eating experience.
- Use well smoked dried catfish: If fish is not well dried it tends to have an off taste or grow mold which can affect the overall outcome of the dish.
- Use a wide pot to stir fry: A wide pot allows better circulation for stir-frying, helping each grain of rice get coated in sauce and heat evenly.
- Add Veggies at the End: The sliced vegetables bring freshness and a little crunch. Add them right at the end to avoid overcooking.
- Strain Goat Meat Stock for a Smooth Texture: Once the goat meat stock is ready, strain it thoroughly to keep the rice smooth and prevent any unexpected broken bone bits.
- Fry the Rice to Get the Toasted Jollof Flavor: Once the rice is added, stir-fry it in the pepper sauce to give it that classic “party rice” flavor.
- Use fresh oil: the quality or the red oil can either make or break your dish. If the oil isn’t fresh enough, please don’t use it.
