Hahaha . Make una no fight o. I fit marry two husbands. No wahala.

I no fit share you with another oo

pocohantas:
What you cooked is EGUSI soup with OKAZI LEAF. Not okazi soup. It has nothing to do with the liquid as okazi is actually fluid.

However, Okazi is cooked with
1) Palm fruit, not palm oil.
2) Achi/ofo/ukpo (we don’t use ede, though a minute/negligible percentage do
3) Achara
4) Moulded egusi
5)Okazi
6) Yellow pepper
7) Cow leg/head, okporoko…etc
Extras.

I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but this is not OKAZI soup that is native to Abians.

I have tasted this soup in umuahia and abiriba( courtesy, marriage), I love that soup.
My problem is always the moulded egwusi. I don't always get it right.

Yea, it is nice until you have too much of it.

Only two things would make your moulded egusi go wrong;
1) Inadequate osu
2) Too much water

Pound the osu together with the egusi, a pinch of salt and one fresh pepper. Add a teaspoon of hot water, then you start applying pressure on the egusi until it solidifies and brings out oil. Use a spoon to gather them together. With clean hands, you squeeze out the oil and start moulding into your preferred shape/size.

Drop into the BOILING POT OF SOUP. I suggest after the broth has boiled. By broth I mean the palm fruit extract and edibles. Just before you add your thickener.

In the absence of osu, we use onions to mould egusi. This is only for veterans.

Omo! I have seen too many okazi soups on the internet and I always wonder where they learned theirs. No disrespect intended, but okazi is not cooked like this.

You're right, this is not how we cook it

Ukazu soup..

Channah1:
Eh.. it's called ukazi too because of the leaf.
My ohafia friends taught me.

You bought Egusi N700, Okazi N150 and you said u cooked Okazi soup, are you joking or something.

Channah1:

Yeah, the leaf is very hard but I didn't pound it because I don't want the soup to be black.
