Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by MissIfe(f): 7:58pm On Jul 21, 2011 |
Oh he did enjoy it! I didn't tell him that I cooked moi moi, when he came home he saw the jollof and later looked at what was on the table, he started with a "your cake looks weird, " before noticing the eggs and then he couldn't believe his eyes : "you cooked moi moi?! Really? how did you do?! who did you call?" He thought I woke up some of his nigerian lady friend to get the recipe ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, this blog is just wonderful, there are still so many other dishes that I want to learn. And i love the presentation, it looks very "classy". |
Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by JeSoul(f): 8:52pm On Jul 21, 2011 |
armyofone:My sister I never try am yet oh. Na laziness jare, plus I had other recipes in queue. Tried shuk shuk yesterday - someone had posted it on a thread here a while back http://www.spicebaby.com/recipes/small-chops-recipe-shuk-shuk-shook-shook-coconut-balls.html very easy and came out okay, I didn't use enough sugar (trying to be health conscious lol) so it didn't have the kick I wanted. Plus this yeye oyinbo coconut that is one kin. Different brand to try next time. labalaba, can i use the loaf pan if i want a plain moin moin as in just bean, oil, salt, dried crayfish and knorr?I don't see why not. The eggs and co are just extra embellishments ![]() |

Looks inviting but, won't the moi-moi destroy in attempt to slice the loaf? Good for a change but I prefer the shape of a foil plate [Of course, where leaves aren't available] ![]() |
Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by Nobody: 9:25pm On Jul 21, 2011 |

Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by Nobody: 9:27pm On Jul 21, 2011 |

Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by Nobody: 4:02am On Jul 22, 2011 |
One or two? pere? mehnnn, that one go hard oo. kk, I loved the Egusi with bitter leave recipe, but the edikang ikong was off the chain as well so was the Ofe owerri n ofe Onugbu. lol , the caramelized goat and Ewa Agoyin got me plenty compliments oo, the boys almost turned my house to restaurant self. The blog was awarded best Nigerian Food Blog for 2011, the recipes are just awesome. |
Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by MissIfe(f): 6:33am On Jul 22, 2011 |
@Missy B, I had no problem taking the moi moi out on a plate and slicing it. I did spread a little bit of oil in the loaf pan before steaming though, and I removed the moi moi from the pan while still warm (I didn't know if it was better to wait for it to cool or not, but it worked anyway so, ). The slices actually look quite nice, since it can show what is inside the moi moi, I didn't make them too large, just like standard cake slices. |

Labalaba & others, have any of you tried using the packaged 'Akara or Moin-moin Powder? I almost bought it to try yday but don't want to waste $5 lol. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by Nobody: 3:58pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
JeSoul:I usually don't use moi moi powder because of the brownish color it usually has, this one looks pretty neat though. If you do try it let you know how it turns out. |
Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by JeSoul(f): 4:50pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
Okay thanks. I will ![]() |
Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by armyofone(m): 6:32pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
ummm, like western countries havent done enough killing me with package food ![]() i havent tried it, prefer washing my own beans with my original small mortar and pestle ![]() ![]() |
Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by MissyB3(f): 8:54pm On Jul 25, 2011 |
armyofone:Likewise |
Re: Moin Moin- Made Easy by Nobody: 12:31pm On Jul 26, 2011 |
@armyofone: Washing from scratch is definitely the ideal choice for most, it's always nice to have that option of packaged food when you are on a time crunch though. |
