How to prepare Ekpang Nkukwuo
 
Before you cook the Nigerian Ekpang Nkwukwo

Rinse and cook the beef, offals and dry fish with the seasoning till done.Peel, wash and grate the cocoyam and water yam (if you will be using this). Mix the two together and set aside.Prepare the pot by rubbing a generous amount of red palm oil on the insides of the pot.Rinse the tender cocoyam leaves and tear into medium pieces. If using pumpkin leaves, wash these and set aside.Blend the pepper and crayfish and set aside.Wash the shelled or unshelled periwinkles.Rinse and slice the scent leaves into tiny pieces.

Cooking directions for Nigerian Ekpang Nkwukwo

If you will be using unshelled periwinkles, place these at the base of the well-oiled pot.Scoop a small quantity of the grated cocoyam into a piece of the torn cocoyam leaf or one pumpkin leaf. Wrap the cocoyam with the leaf and place in the pot. Repeat this procedure till all the grated cocoyam (and water yam) is exhausted.Add the pepper, crayfish, onions, shelled periwinkles and assorted beef.Add hot water to the level of the pot contents and set to cook on medium heat for 20 minutes.Now, add the scent leaves, a generous amount of palm oil and salt to taste. Cook for more 5 minutes and the Ekpang Nkwukwo is done.Leave to stand for 5 minutes and stir.

That's how to cook the Nigerian Ekpang Nkwukwo.

How to prepare Nkpafere soup (Oha soup)

Ingredients


1 small bunch Nkpa leaves (Oha leaves)
1 tablespoonful ground Ofo
8 pieces Beef

10 pieces Pomo

2 pieces Smoked Fish

1-2 chunks Stock Fish

1/2 cup Periwinkle in shell

Yellow Cameroun Pepper to taste

2 table spoons ground Crayfish

8-10 pieces smoked Prawns

3 cooking spoons Palm Oil

Small pieces Uyayak or Adian fruit (about the size of a table spoon head)

Seasoning cube to taste

Method

Wash, season the beef, pomo and stockfish with pepper, seasoning cube and salt and allow to marinade for about 15 minutes. Steam the meats in the beef juice till dry, then add water and cook till soft. Check the Pomo and stock fish as the meat meats cook and take out when softPick the leaves, wash and shred with your hands into large chunks. I understand that using a knife to chop the vegetable makes it bitter. I have never tested this so I don’t know if this is true.When meat is cooked, add water enough to cook the soup.  Add some more pepper at this stage if you prefer your soup hot. The quantity of water that will give a good consistency to the soup with the quantity of ofo in the recipe is about 5-6 cups of water. It is advisable to have extra ofo in case you need to thicken the soup further.Add crayfish, smoked prawns, periwinkle and Uyayak to the soup and bring to boil for about 5 minsAdd the palm oil and boil for 5 minutesReduce heat of the burner, add a little cold water to the pot to reduce the temperature of the soup water and quickly add the ground ofo and stir fast to dissolve the powder it in the soup. If the water is hot and boiling the ofo tends to form lumps.Raise heat back and allow soup to boil for about 3 minutes and thicken. Taste and correct seasoningAdd the Nkpa stir and cook for about 1 minute and turn off the heat. The heat of the soup will continue to cook the vegetable.Serve with swallow of choice, pounded yam or Eba.

Water-yam on its own does nothing for the taste buds,
but by the time you add in some fish, palm oil and pepper, your taste buds will thank you for it.

So for an ‘adventureful’ time in your kitchen , whip up your cooking tools and get started already!

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Serves: 2

Ingredients: 1/4 medium size water yam

Pieces of beef, cut in small chunks

1 cup pieces smoked fish

1/2 cup smoked Prawns (dressed)

11/2 cooking spoons palm oil

1 tablespoon chopped effirin or scent leaves

Dried pepper to taste

Seasoning to taste

Salt to taste

Cooking Method: Peel, wash, cut in big chunks and grate the water yam ( you can use a food processor). Add a little salt.

Season and steam the meat with onion, pepper, salt, seasoning, then cook.

When meat is cooked add the smoked fish, prawns and seasoning,  some more water and cook for about 3 minutes.

Add the palm oil and cook for 5 minutes.

Using your hand drop the water yam  paste in small balls into the pot. Make sure to leave some space between the balls to give enough room for the stock to boil up and cook the water yam.

Reduce the flame to a low burn to allow the water yam  balls cook through. Do not stir immediately . If need be, rock or shake the pot to free the water yam to cook.

When cooked the balls are translucent  And the sauce thickens.
When the balls are set on the outside you may use a wooden spoon to stir the pottage, avoid squashing the balls.

Taste for salt , add the effirin leaves, cook for 2mins

Directions on how to prepare editan soup with water leaves 

Since the meat is already cooked, add 1 cup of water to the meat and allow it to boil. When the water starts to boil, Add the wash smoked fish to the pot. Make sure you don’t add it with the meat to cook because the heat will break them down till you can’t find them anymore.Add palm oil, crayfish, seasoning cubes, pepper traditional ingredients (okpei), stir and let it cook for 5 minutes.Add the shredded water leaves or chopped okro to the pot on heat.Add the already washed editan leaves and uziza leaves (odusa leaves) without stirring, cover the pot and allow to boil for 5 minutes. Uziza leaves give a unique flavour to editan soup, you can as well substitute with the uziza seeds.Open the pot and stir the soup properly and allow it on a low heat for 5 more minutes.Taste for salt and seasonings, put of the heat and bring down the soup.

Your editan soup is ready, serve with Ekpang-iwa ,eba, fufu or semolina.

I use royan hospital and their service has been great so far. That Im very sure about. My sis had my niece there early in the year.

Hello ma'am.

Sorry to bother you, the contration started few hours after the drip and I was ask to continue with salbutalmo tabs, now I'm back on drip and it has stopped again. Pls what could be responsible for this, I'm so tired.

Its preterm contraction and i see you are carrying multiples. Salbutamol is holding it in check and the drip form of it works faster and better than the tablet. We pray it finally subsides with or without the salbutamol drip so that you can be switched back to the tablets. It's well with you and your babies.

Ilyfavoured:
Congratulations to all mamas that have given birth. May your joy over them be full always.


Any mama with breech baby at 37 weeks? What was/is your experience? Did baby turn before labour started?[/b]

Royan is very good. Thats the private hospital I use alongside general hospital and this is my third baby, I have never had issues with them though I do give birth at the general hospital. The owner Dr Akinola is the head gynea at lasuth even his wife who owns scan care is also the head in hers too.
To me solid rock hospital is a NOO.
Make your enquiries well and know which one will suit you. In all the koko is for Baba God to be involved.

I started contracting at 23weeks and there's nothing the doctors did not try to stop it, it will only stop for a day or two after being given pain relief injection and it continues like that till 29weeks, I mean everyday that once it started I will be rolling and crying and today we are 34wks+ so I will say rest well, takes lots of water and erase fear. It is well with you

Wow, so you mean you still contract up till now and they could not do anything about it? Mine is not even painful at all just the hardening and it's quiet frequent. I know it will surely stop and I'll carry to term by his grace.
Thank you.
