How to Make Caribbean Raisin Fried Rice
Start by prepping everything first. Wash and drain your rice, chop your vegetables, and measure your seasonings so the cooking process stays smooth.
Cook your aromatics in oil to build the base flavor, then add your vegetables and let them soften slightly while keeping some texture. Add the rice and make sure the grains are separated so they can absorb the seasoning properly.
Season in layers, then fold in the raisins so the rice has that sweet and savory Caribbean balance. Finish by tossing everything together until the rice is flavorful, fluffy, and lightly fried.
