No offence but your food is always so dry and blah. You don't cook stew for your husband and kids?

How To Make River State Native Soup

Below are the ingredients for making the popular native soup in River state Nigeria,
the ingredients would serve about 6×2 people, you can increase or decrease the quantity of each ingredient depending on the number people would be eating your food.

You can make this soup as simple as possible, if you can’t find the ngolo and prowns where you live, you can leave them out. I can’t find the english name for Ngolo, is it clams?

1KG of meat
10 pieces of stock fish ear (nti okporoko)
2 cups of sliced uziza leaves
2 medium size dry fish
Cocoa yam as thickener (see image)
15-20cl of palm oil
2-3 cubes of maggi or knorr
1-2 cups of periwinkles
1-2 cups of ngolo
1 cup of ground crayfish
Salt and pepper to taste.
two handful of fresh prowns
2 spoons of ofor (alternative thickener)


How to Prepare Nigerian Native soup
You might wanna start by parboiling the shrimps, wash and parboil with a small pot, add half cup of water, a cube of maggi and a pinch of salt, allow to boil for up to 5 minutes, remove the head and set aside in a clean plate.

STEP 1
I like to start by parboiling the meat with all the necessary ingredients, most cooks forget that parboiling the meat and obtaining the stock (water left after parboiling) is an important part of Nigerian cooking process.

I like to parboil the meat with just 2 cubes of maggi, 1 bulb of onions, salt and maybe a sachet of onga classic (a very popular Nigerian spice for soup). My choice of meat is hard to cook, takes about 50-60 minutes before you commence with the rest of the cooking.

Step 2
Use this time to prepare the other ingredients; wash and slice the uziza leaves.

Soak the stock fish and dry fish with boiled water and wash thoroughly to remove sand and center bone. Grind the crayfish and fresh pepper also, you can grind together or grind separately.

Step 3
Add the washed dry fish/stock fish in the boiling meat on fire, after about 30-50 minutes of cooking just the meat. Once they are soft and the water is almost dried (about 1 cup left) add about 5-7 cups of water, palm oil and the ground crayfish. This step was visually demonstrated in the video below, so if you like watching better than reading you can scroll down to see the video.

Allow the soup to cook for another ten minutes before adding salt to taste, a cube of maggi. Maggi is a natural food sweetener, used in making almost all the {foods eaten in Nigeria} you can refer to our ingredients catalogue for an in-depth understanding of all the ingredients used in making Nigerian foods.

Step 4
Add the washed/cleaned ngolo, stir, add the cocoayam, allow to dissolve in 8-10 minutes, if it is still very watery you can add a spoon of ofor, cook for three minutes before adding the periwinkles, prown and sliced uziza leaves which is likely the last ingredient while making River state native soup.

Allow to simmer for another five minutes and you just made Nigerian’s most popular native soup.

I have to try this, I love native soups.

@ EfemenaXY, una be real ajebutter for una house. If I serve food like this in my house, my hubby and children will wonder if I have suffered the invasion of a body snatcher

smh

what's your own business. post your pictures and stop being a pointless critic.

the men who tend to criticise are the ones that can't lift a single pin in the kitchen, yet they will be the ones to criticise like there's no tomorrow.

not everyone likes stew with all their food, i think its mainly yoruba's, they like stew with everything.

my husband too has started this, beans, moi moi, ogbono soup etc, i must add stew.

if her family enjoys it, dats all that matters.

OK Aunty

5 people like my posts because I said the truth. I bet the same people who liked my posts are the ones saying I should mind my business, starting with Coco... . At least you cook stew for your own husband and your food isn't always so dry.

I actually enjoy seeing her identical plated meals. I really do. Have you ever posted a picture of yours or you are just here to watch others and post nasty comments?

i'll eat that in a heart beat but minus the mushrooms.

Given my profligate Saturday, it's going to be all about juices for breakfast for the rest of this week.

I had a juice called hulk blood this morning. I juiced 2 apples, 15 grapes, 2 cups of spinach, 3 celery stalks, 1 peeled lemon and blended together with one very ripe avocado.

I get my juice recipes here : https://juicerecipes.com/

I have even done the 30 day challenge.

There're 5 two-faced people in here. They know themselves. She will start posting less dry plates now. Bunch of scattered food on a plate, lmfao.

Enjoy your Monday, folks.

@bold maybe.
Or they just liked your post but weren't among those that told you to mind your business. In that case, they wouldn't be two-faced.

But I get you jare.
This isn't the first time. (Actually,third if I'm right)
Someone will enter the kitchen to look for trouble and their post will get 10likes

Who are those liking the posts?
