Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Everyone loves ofada rice! Okay not everyone, but you get the drift. Here are the health benefits, recipe and how to cook ofada rice and sauce.

 

Some like Ofada rice for the unique taste of the unpolished rice while others for the combination of meats and peppers in the sauce (Ayamase) which gives it a complex flavour that leaves them wanting more. Ofada rice and sauce (ayamase) is easy to prepare, not expensive as you can work with any budget and doesn’t take long to prepare.
