How to Cook Edikang Ikong Soup

It is common for Nigerians to request this soup recipe after a bout of illness as we trust it to replenish whatever was lost during the sickness. But you don't not need to be in a state of convalescence to enjoy this wholesome Nigerian food recipe.
Ingredients for Edikang Ikong Soup
1kg Pumpkin leaves
500g Water leaves (Talinum Triangulare)
600g Beef, Kanda , shaki and Dry fish
Pepper, Salt and ground crayfish: to taste
200ml Palm oil
1 cup Periwinkle
2 medium onions
2-3 stock cubes
Alternative vegetables for those who cannot buy water leaves and pumpkin leaves:
Use the following to replace the classic Nigerian vegetables for this soup:
1kg normal frozen spinach
200g ground frozen spinach
250g lamb's lettuce (canonigos in Spanish)
Defrost the frozen spinach, cut the normal frozen one into tiny pieces and mix with the ground frozen spinach. Wring out the water from these and add them when the written recipe requires you to add the pumpkin leaves.
Wash, pick and cut the Lamb's Lettuce into tiny pieces. Add them when the written recipe requires you to add water leaves.
Watch the video below for how I used these alternative vegetables to prepare Edikang Ikong soup.
Before you cook the Edikaikong Soup
1. Wash and cut the pumpkin and water leaves into tiny pieces. Put them in separate sieves to drain out all the water as much as possible.
2. Cut the Kanda into small pieces. Cook the beef, kanda and the dry fish with the 2 bulbs of diced onions and the stock cubes with as little quantity of water as possible.
Cooking Directions
1. When the meat is done, add a generous amount of palm oil, the crayfish and pepper and leave to boil for about 10 minutes. The palm oil serves as the liquid in the Edikang Ikong soup. You should try as much as possible to make it the only liquid in the soup.
2. Add the periwinkle and water leaves and leave to cook for another 5 minutes. You may have to cook for less time at this stage so that the water leaves are not over-cooked.
3. Now add the pumpkin leaves and salt to taste. Stir the contents of the pot very well and turn off the heat. Cover the pot and leave to stand for about 5 minutes.
4. Thats it!
Serve with Garri (Eba) , Semolina Fufu , Amala,
Cassava Fufu or Pounded Yam .

I am not. It's a sad reality how crazy people can get to protect a scam. Ponzi schemes are sweet poison. So much smiles at the beginning but it always ends in doom.

Focus your anger on those that scam your lobotomised self not. Why are you aggressive at me? So you have IQ yet you can't make your point without insult?
This speak more about your upbringing. Sorry Bro life is not easy even for fools

rhektor:


Keep on deceiving yourself and the gullible.
How many people has Robert Kiyosaki met in the real life situation? How many of his belief system has worked in Africa? You just allow one silly desperate author to mislead you to foolishness. Kiyosaki only want to sell books and nothing more. Fact is all Ponzi schemes are fraud nothing more. Rob Peter Paul and James then crash the system.

So unfortunately ur parents wasted money sending u to sch. Ghw created a forum so we can have general discussion there to avoid social networks entirely, yet u still bring this kind of topic to nairaland. So unfortunate you can't comprehend what you read. If u don't have money to Ph, stick to option no 1. What's difficult to understand in that? Is English that difficult to understand I doubt you are participant at all, if you, then you don't know anything about GHW.

Very soon he will delete his account like Ponzihater, watch out. The best is yet to come, by the time he wakes up on one beautiful morning and finds out his hands have been paralyzed via spiritual, he will understand better.

It's no news that Mmm and its top guiders swindled Nigerians of billions of naira. Some of them relocating out of the Country after this.

What is more shocking is that they still decided to prey on some more people after the first round that resulted in an unfortunate situation for a lot of hapless people.

Last time people complained about it, the "supporters" claimed we should mind our business. However, when the chips were down n hapless people lost billions of their savings ("spare cash" according to it Mmm supporters), they kept mute n had nothing to offer to help the unfortunate ones.

I've decided to do my little bit by assisting to crash this evil system that preys on the vulnerable by creating accounts, making pledges n frustrating the system to an early bankruptcy. It's going to go bankrupt sometime in the future anyway, but this time it will not snowball into the size it was last time.

Help crash this evil system.

stansmart:


So your intelligence is measured by your ph history, u be confirmed sule. Because of greed you guys wanna deceive innocent people to invest all because you want to get your money back knowing fully well the system is in ruins.

I can bet my ph history is deeper than your meager life. If the system is back to normal I will be the first to comment, but for now system dey Apia way looking for new excuses.

stansmart:
14 days and counting....no match no request reply.

The only change is the excuse, from we servicing backlogs due to traffic issues to we bringing out a new platform.

Reporting live from GHW.

winterstorm:
Hehehhehe! How anyone can open their mouth and categorically rain bits and pieces of insults on Nigerians ...My dear, a lot of news and information +more and more changes would still be coming up,so get ready to read a whole lot of them, for I tell you, this house is going down!.

winterstorm:
Ladies and gentlemen...there's no point arguing with you all....All I can say is...it has happened before, it's happening again- If you are wise enough, you would secure all that you have and use spare..*If you have any*.....The Truth is that GHW is a ponzi, a Sick one at that, and it is not Invincible.

emmyberekz:
YOU guyz are wicked and God will show you All wickedness, amen!!!

Macchiavelli:
I haven't being rematched since 7th march.

mikanju:
You are all here ranting and defending yet if they match you you wont pay.This is the 5th time they are [b]matching my inlaw to get help of 1,000.Up till now none of the 5 people provided the help.She cancelled her pending help cos of that and she right to do so.[/b]Today makes it exactly 15 days my sister has been mathed 4 times to get help of 47,000.The time expires 11:59pm yet the 4th set of people said they wont pay they told her point blank when she called. You spend your time here defending and cursing as if that is what will sustain the system. If you defend and curse till next year and they match you but you refused to provide tell how the system wont crash ? As far as am concerned participants are to blame.Please correct me if am wrong,you dont have to curse or abuse to prove your point. The amount of effort put here if you put it in fufiling your pledge and stop cancelling your pending pledge no amount of attack will make it crash !

akanbiaa:
To Majority that's their only source and since they could match and pay during Christmass and new year they got my respect.
