Pls who know how to cook efo with egusi.So that all the egusi will look like small eggs in the efo (vegetable)
All the egusi will not dissolve in the vegetable but rather clench 2gether .I dont often get it right always.Some said they use egg to make it form some said onions e.t.c. Pls sate if u are using powdered egusi or egusi that has been mixed with water .Thank u.

grind fresh onions , do not use too much water and then use it to mix the milled egusi ,using your fingers roll the mixture into small balls and drop into an already cooked sauce( that is the trick on cooking a thick egusi soup)

darling you read my mind

@ ire-funke
from experience, i can confirm that this is a strategy that will definitely work. it works for me, i learnt that from my mum

hello there
i want to teach u how to cook egusi soup and make the egusi be like a egg.first of all u put ur pepper and some water ten when the water is about to dry u put ur vegetable(ur egusi should be in a plate and add a little water then make it the way u want it to be)

Whip the egusi powder with egg yolk into a paste then drop the egusi into boiling hot water (for cooking the soup) or meat stock . the egusi will then congeal into small balls prancing up and down the soup pot.

simply add your powdered egusi, do not stir too much and don't use too much water. . .
Works for me.

Has anyone ever tried using garri? My mom uses it all the time and hers come out very lumpy.

i dont know we do cookery here as well o - please let me know when u finish making it thick o.

garri ? for what? mixing egusi?

Bush girl! Better learn how to cook now

she would sprinkle the garri on the egusi and then leave it to simmer for about 5 minutes.
The first time my dad and i tried making it in her absence we had no clue why she used the garri but we just added it all the same. It turned out lumpy and really nice. Mom was proud of us.

pele! cook major!

so na just garri plus egusi? water no dey there? dat una method na helele! i need to see that pot- o -soup!

That is why they shouldn't allow some men into the kitchen

Thank you jare! Dont mind these "cooks". U can use stock instead. . . i prefer that to using water.

You just ruined ur cooking reputation.
Stock - whatever is left after boiling your meat. Abi no be so?

didn't know i had a cooking reputation!  "  "

no be water ! be the major thingy in the stock !

oga  ! master cook take am easy oh!

to make egusi thick, use the stock  instead of water. my egusi is always thick because i don't use water.
however, you cook in low heat to prevent burning from below.

Yes, water is the main part of stock but then its not the only thing. I tried it yesterday, fantastic. . . You could not even do better if u tried. 
Make shame no catch u, what a woman can do a man can do even better.

omoge:

Use a non-stick pot to cook it. It wont burn unless u leave it unattended forever.

yeah those expensive pot, not the 2 for 99cent pot sold at Walmart or Wegmans,

Yes o. . . i had to buy one for myself to avoid burning all my soups.
The egusi sticks to the bottom if u leave it on maximum heat for a while but it can be easily scrapped off. Omo i don get experience o

the only thing you may die of is shame. Shame that a man can cook this good.

am sure you'll even burn water if asked to boil it
