This is going to be interesting. Please share more. I am a big fan of igbo food. I have eaten isi ewu and Abacha with ugba only, I know there are so many igbo foods I haven't eaten. I love the food for being mostly raw, fresh vegetables.

Okpa is not moi moi o.. the two looks similar but are not.
Moi moi is made from beans, but okpa is made from a different seed in the family of beans. The okpa is very common in the East up till Benue and Abuja.. I had well prepared ones in Enugu.

Ji Mmiri Oku is a yam and dried fish pepper soup porridge native to the Igbos of Nigeria.
It is a traditional meal that is usually prepared for new moms, right after putting to bed(traditionally known as the Omugwo time). It is often loaded with hot pepper, which is said to help the new mom heal faster

Ukwa is one of the popular foods eaten by the Igbo people. It is made from fresh breadfruit. The seeds are shelled, washed and cooked with crystal soda (akanwu) and water till it is soft enough for consumption. Ukwa can also be cooked with rice.
