this poster no sabi anything. wetin ofor dey find for veg. soup,

when did they start measuring ugwu and water leaf in cups. you recipe would prepare jujutable soup, not vegetable soup

My dear follow ask oh, This can never be 'our' edikang ikong.

Sleekbaby:
Veg. soup doesn't need thickner just use little quantity of water to cook your meat that's all.

Op did a very nice job but washing veg. with hot water is strange to me and also measuring of veg. with cup

I was wondering if this is the same edikang ikong I cook every week, the hot water part just got me staring at my phone.

blesoh:

This is edikang ikong soup, you don't cook with water, the leaves bring out the water.

well, whatever rocks ur boat... At least ur better than a thousand ladies who can't even cook at all

Enoquin:
Ofor in Edikaikong ke? How would an Oha soup taste if I decide to add Uyayak?
Also, for someone who pointed out not cooking the leaves for too long so as not to lose its nutritional value, it is surprising that you washed your leaves 'after' slicing. Wash your leaves thoroughly, then slice

Hahahahahaha na abak or white soup this person want cook, the uyayak got me, hahahahahaha

Hahahahaha, it's well. It's not the op's fault shaa, some normally add large quantity of water as if they are cooking onugbu so they add thickner at the end but the look and taste is always different, it can't give that look on the picture above.

yea right... Just dat I am not too comfortable in getting married to a calabar/akwaibom girl... My problem is just the in laws.

dingbang:
urm so how do you now get to thicken ur veg. Soup?

your meat/stockfish water should almost be dry before cooking commences,vegetable soup should only have the water that came out from the veggies and no where else. no need for of or,achi or any thickener.

luchee:
Hmmmm...thickener in vegetable soup? I've never heard of that. If you use the right amount of water in your soup, I don't think you'll be needing any thickner. @Op, soaking your vegetables in hot water is enough to remove the nutritional values. Why not rinse as many times as possible with cold water.

This is definitely not edikang ikong, with the hot water part and ofor it can never be it.

Well cross river has different tribes, and it also depends on the family too, but we are welcoming. Don't be afraid, BTW what tribe are you.

lol yes you guys are welcoming but the in laws aren't... They just tax a man exhorbitantly who isn't from their tribe dat is marrying their daughter.. Am from IMO state tho... I have akwaibom female friends around me who are marriageable.. But still yet a lot of things are drawing me back.. Like I give u an example.. Where I stay, I have some akwaibom people living close to me and they are women.. D noise they make is just annoying...and they just don't stop talking.. They love talking at the top of their voices and it distracts me from reading.. All these things contribute to the dislike for akwaibom people generally ..

my baby already taught me

I use fresh pepper, tatashe and onion to boil the beef or assorted meat. I add enough crayfish and a generous amount of palm oil to themeat stock allow to boil and others follow... That's how I've been cooking my vegetable.

Cross river is totally different from Akwa Ibom, and not all parts in Akwa Ibom that do that, we the efiks don't tax, like I said it depends on the family, some may have long throat some don't, my village you can't spend up to 100k for bride price, including parent's clothes. BTW paternally am from imo state, ikeduru to be precise. My mum is from calabar and I married from here too.

You really do not know how to prepare Edikang ikong. You would have known that it requires crayfish and especially palm oil in abundance

dingbang:

Ok no wahala

Op, much as you try small, you missed a lot.
As a proper Akwa Ibom woman, I can tell you edikangikong belongs to Akwa Ibom and Cross River. Others prepare ordinary ugwu soup.

I can also tell you that you dont use thickener in edikangikong soup.

You don't slice your leaves before washing rather you wash your leaves first in cold water before you slice. You can never get rid of all the sand, grass and worms attached to the leaves if you slice them first.

Using hot water on veg kills all the nutritional values.

You dont use water for edikangikong. The leaves esp the water leaves will give you all the water you need.

That's why we still remain the best cooks o. The ting dey our fingertips.
