Yesterday I dey kitchen till almost 10.30pm
Cooked okro soup and Ofe Akwu for today's rice. With well seasoned beef

As I woke up happily to go an warm it and it was looking a bit swollen with tiny little bubbles popping up.

Hmmm maybe na prank
I turned around to check. But na my house so I no expect to see hidden camera.

Na so this banga take spoil.
The idea was to include some more veggies and stock fish to the stew this morning b4 dishing it into the storage containers for freezing.

Hmmm! *sighs deeply*

At that moment i wished I was a babe so I would have no excuses than to start crying like a child.

I legit felt like crying at that instant because WTF?! And fridge dey o

I had to go borrow a bigger pistle & mortar from a neighbour to get this stew done faster that yesterday and now it's spoilt?

This can't be true.
I just bent over the pot to perceive the aroma but... Nothing. No odd smells. But it's def going bad

Madd! 😠

Its over 3 hours now since I warmed it up again. I want to know if there's any solution to make it taste any better as it kinda slaps a bit and not so fresh any more


. I feel like calling my babe to ask for a solution but remember say I no get babe .. now I'm double mad! 😡 💢

Called mumsy and she advised to add some balls of charcoal to it.

I think I understand how women feel when they have drastic mood swings and go from happy to erratic in seconds. That's me rn.

I went from having the mental composure of Master Shifu (see Kungfu Panda) to that of a 3yo baby.

So now... Sunday lunch will be replanned.
Any remedy to the soup? Any hope

I'm omw to the market to get some charred coal. I'll check suggestions so I'll buy anything I need at once

This is how it looks after warmin

go get charcoal for a new meal

Yes there is.
Throw it away

Get a live cockroach and put it inside. It will suck up the sourness.
Thank me later though

Add palm oil, enough onion and recook without covering it.

If you have charcoal drop some big balls inside while cooking. Charcoals are good adsorbent

Y

After cooking or warming, don't cover the put while is still hot, allow it to properly cool

As far as I'm concerned, na rice remain.

Throw that shit away and buy garri and drink...

You must not eat rice, had it been you are in Police cell now, will you be reasoning about Ofe Akwu... Now God gave u life and freedom, you dey disturb us with ofe Akwu

Irreversible damage by bacteria. Don't lick your spoon and deep it into a pot of soup after it has cooled to a certain level and also don't leave it totally opened as bacteria can contaminate the soup through these two ways.

You undercooked it, I guess.

To remedy this, buy another reasonable qty of banga and prepare another ofe akwu, then mix it together with the old one. That would salvage the situation. E'Pele

Thank me latewr though

This y I still like this forum ,so so funny people around every now and then

that soup won't sour, it's from oil and oil doesn't sour.. Just freeze it in smaller containers..

Sorry Bro.... U cooked this at night morning already bad, surprising....

To me il advise u remove the meat and fish and cook another one o.... Cause to avoid purging

S

This happens to the best of us.

To fix this, I always add more crayfish and ahigbe leaves also known as ncho anwu or scent leaves. It helps but the taste will never be the same.

Next time, do the following
1. Never close the pot completely after cooking. This will allow steam to escape and prevent condensation, which can create a damp environment that will cause the food to spoil faster.

2. Use a clean spoon each time you taste the soup, and avoid putting the same spoon back into the pot. Saliva on the spoon can introduce enzymes and bacteria that might speed up the process of spoilage.

E be like na the animal proteins make am spoil fast

This is melon soup.

Egussi soup.

Put very small quantity of potash or ukan.

Reboil.

But it will still not be very perfect.

This one has happened, next time if the weather is hot never 100% cover any thing you cook, but for this one follow the recommendations above, like onion, charcoal,etc
