If you ask Amanda Adé which jollof rice she prefers – Ghanian or Nigerian – she makes no bones about her bias. I m going to be biased because I do have Nigerian blood but from my experience I would also say Nigerian jollof rice is so much better , she laughs.
The traditional dish, where rice is cooked in a spicy tomato sauce and often served with chicken or another kind of meat, is what Amanda calls the pinnacle of West African cooking , and the subject of a long rivalry.
If you ve spent any amount of time on TikTok, you re sure to have come across some videos of white people cooking the dish and being playfully critiqued by African or Black TikTok users.
