You're not supposed to boil vegetables for more than 2mins in all. Ugu should be the last thing u add just before u bring it down.

This is how I cook my own egusi.

1. I steam meat and set aside.
2. Pour my ground egusi into a bowl. Add a little water and form the egusi into a paste.
3. Add little oil into a cooking pot, allow the oil to get warm a bit.
4. Pour the earlier prepared paste into the oil and fry.
5. Keep turning the egusi in the oil until a proper mixture is formed.
6. Pour the water from the meat and allow the whole mixture to boil for some minutes.
7. Add pepper, Maggi cube, salt, etc and allow to boil yet again.
8. Lastly. Pour in your vegetables and stir.

9. Allow the vegetables to simmer.

10. Enjoy your tastefully prepared egusi soup.

How to cook egusi soup(melon soup)

Egusi soup is one of the easiest and simple soup you can make within 45 minutes or more.
Egusi soup is also known as melon soup as melon seeds are used to make the egusi soup.
Now there is something unique about egusi soup, I bet most of you do feel the same way about it.
I tend to eat more fufu when I am eating it with egusi soup than other soup.I don't know if you guys experience this as well.
Now there are different methods which people use to cook egusi soup but this is my own preference on how to cook egusi soup so make sure you learn from this if don't know how to cook it.


Ingredients.

4 cups of egusi seed

3 cooking spoon of red palm oil

Stock fish or cow meat

Two tablespoon of crayfish

Ugu leaves (N100 ugu leave will do)

Salt and pepper and

3 stock cube.

Things you should get ready before you start cooking the egusi soup.


Grind the melon seeds and keep aside.

If you would use stock fish then you will have to wash it properly with hot water and leave it in the hot water to get soft to be able to be broken with hands.But if you are using cow meat then you will have wash the meat properly and if not cut in to pieces, then cut it yourself into small pieces and then cook it first by putting it in a pot, add water to it and also add a little salt and pepper.
Let it cook for about 20 to 30 minutes then turn off the cooker (gas or stove).

Next is to cut the ugu leaves into smaller pieces.

Now you are all set to start cooking the egusi soup.

How to cook the egusi soup

Now put the meat in a different pot or plate and then the water from the meat should be put back on the cooker, then add the grounded egusi to the pot and stir and allow it to cook for about 15 minutes.
Keep checking on it while it's cooking, if the water from the meat isn't enough then add a little water till the texture is ok.

After about 15 minutes, you will now add the red palm oil to the cooking pot, atleast 3-4cooking spoon of the red palm oil will be ok and if not ok yet add a little more and stir.

After about 5 minutes of adding the
Red palm oil, add the cooked meat and the ugu leaves which you've cut into pieces to the pot and stir.

Then lastly, 2 minutes after adding the ugu leaves,add your stock cubes, pepper and little salt to the cooking pot and let it cook for about 10 minutes then turn off the cooker.
And that is for how to cook egusi soup.Hope you enjoyed and learnt how to make egusi soup.

Now help tag dj cuppy to come learn how to cook egusi asap..lol.

Ladies and gentlemen, please and please, do not follow these steps in cooking egusi. This is NOT how to cook good egusi. This method will leave you with egusi that has water in one side and the egusi in another side. This method will also leave you with overcooked vegetables in your soup.
For best ways to cook Egusi, please check good Nigerian food websites as I do not have the time to type.
Criticize me pls if u wish, but do NOT follow this recipe above.

Lol. I thought I was going to learn from his method. But I saw massive flaws in it. Obviously, soup prepared using that method won't make sense.

I prefer putting my Maggi cube and salt last. Egusi can be prepared in any method, the easiest soup to learn.
