They add that stuff to speed up the fermentation process. Funny thing is that they know what they are doing and will happily sell the akpu, but won't eat it themselves.

But the fermentation process doesn’t take long nau. 4-5 days and the cassava is already fermented

There are plenty of Nigerians willing to take any shortcut to shorten the fermentation process.

Rice n' Peas (kidney beans) + Turkey. Featuring my new stethoscope I was admiring.

Igbaf:
Do you mind sharing the recipe for the wheat bread? Good job 👍

Sure! https://bakingamoment.com/soft-whole-wheat-bread/

Only changes I made were:
1) fed all the honey to the yeast
2) used ghee instead of butter
3) used Maldon, instead of sea salt


I intend to incorporate the quick-rise trick found here next time

FORGET stand mixers. I found out I can make perfect dough in two minutes. How you ask? A yam pounder 🤯 made two big and one small milk bread loaf, one wheat loaf and one oat loaf in about 2.5 hours using the quick-rise 200-degree cheat at https://www.modernhoney.com/best-homemade-one-hour-whole-wheat-bread/comment-page-10/#comments the loaves doubled in size in about 20 minutes😁

Judge for yourself 😏

Thursday night dinner

noodles grilled steak and sweet tea

steak didn't come out so well so I made it again this afternoon on the stove. taste was much better

Heads up. It's better to eat pasta than the ramen noodles. The pasta is whole grain and has a good amount of protein. The ramen, even without the seasoning that comes with it, may have a ton of salt, and you can't trust the nutritional value. The ramen is also dried by deep-frying it. Pasta is industrially air-dried.

It's also easy to make your own noodles/pasta. But it takes a little while, and it's pretty physical too. You can get a little pasta maker to do that though. And fresh noodles/pasta taste better.

Also for the first time I have started buying lots of pasta now because ramen price has doubled in the last 2 years
pasta is a better value these days
