What is egusi?

Oga welldon you try

Applauddise!!!
Keep it up

this just made me remember a roommate of mine back in school..
he's the person have seen that used groundnut oil to cook egusi soup..
he's the first person have seen that wanted to fry ugu leave with groundnut oil..
he's the first person have seen that cooked jollof rice without oil like 3 times
He's the first person have seen that boiled my Bean's powder hoping it will form akara abi moi moi

In short you chop e food there's a big probability you might end up in the hospital

You're evil

shortgun:
This is a fail...20/100
I beg you in the name of whatever you believe in don't abuse egusi soup like this again next time.

d

shortgun:
Too much water.
Overcooked vegetable.
You didn't allow the oil to heat properly n its too much that's why the oil is separating.
Next time add stock fish no matter how small.
Your procedure is wrong....You have to pour in the stock first before adding water(you might not need to add water sef)
Scent leave is too much....the aroma will be "too strong"
Anyways, practice makes perfect.

Agwu nwa Mariah! if I marry u enh, I nor cook 4 House again, Walayi. I go just be ur cook assistant preparing & dressing everything u will use 2 cook down 4 u 2 do d cooking sometimes. Or not enter kitchen @ all.

6. Put an empty pot on fire and heat it to dryness,

7. Pour the palm oil and allow to heat,

8. Pour your grounded egusi and stir,

9. Pour the meat stock and stir,

10. Pour additional quantity of water to the soup until it gets to your desired volume,

11. Add the meat and additional spices until you achieve your desired taste,

12. Allow to boil for seven to ten minutes.

Nahhhh.

You dice onions into your egusi, add lil water and mix well. Then drop the egusi in molds into the stock on the fire. Then add palm oil. Don't stir yet. After like 3mins... You can stir just to make sure it's not sticking to the pot. Now add your leave. Don't stir till 3mins.

TONYE001:
Food is ready. You can eat with eba, akpu, pounded yam, etc..

Kai, You are husband material..how many yards? Nairalanders will be the judge. The look of your soup tho . In any case you can find your way to the kitchen, boil water without burning the house down and whip up this baby poop looking soup...let's be liberal with em score...15/100 ...as we no come taste am nah, the aroma, method nko etc...just manage the 15/100...you try

See as people plenty for the thread, they wan use style come learn how to cook Egusi Nice job OP but try add iru(locust beans) next time

This soup sef no go sweet

TONYE001:
The vegetable was barely cooked for one minute.. The stock was added before the water as explained above.. The scent leaves were not too much for my liking.. And the aroma wasn't too much either..

I believe there are numerous procedures in preparing a given dish. No one can be judged as wrong as far as the final taste is pleasant (which is relative) and the nutrients are preserved.

Thanks again for your comment.. Trust your day is turning out well..

Na Im bi d original fisherman soup na. Lol! D soup 2 expensive 2 cook 4 Lagos here 2 see healthy big perewinkles na war. D Last time 1 high class man gave me money 2 make d soup 4 him d@ he enjoyed it in his office canteen on bourdilon in ikoyi. I5k wey I use make 4 portions of d soup, I managed as I couldn't find ngolo & blood clamps in ajah market, & he didn't like snails. Just used perewinkles & shrimps with fresh fish only

Bros you try but you just murdered our dear egusi soup.
Egusi is one of the easiest soup to prepare. With simple ingredients.

Recipes
Red oil
Egusi granded
Stock fish(very important for test.)
Cray fish (very important)
Stock (water from meat, goat or beef)
Ugu or bitter leave (or mix ugu and water leaves)
Maggie and salt
Pound fresh pepper

How to prepare.
Add your stock water, beef or goat meat.
When boiling, mix your egusi with small cold water like how women mix grand beans for akara.
Add the mix egusi in the boiling stock water like akara being put inside oil.
Allow the egusi to dissolve by itself, do not cover the pot. Add red oil while the egusi is melting.
After like 10 minutes, add pepper, small Maggi and salt (remember some are already in the stock from meat). Allow it to boil for another 10 minutes then add vegetables and close, turn off gas. Open after like 3 minutes and enjoy.
Thank me later.

Nice, but scent leaves? That's new

Uyiii:
is this egusi soup or vomit

abeg op, stick to cooking rice and boiling water for eba if you must cook

haha, op you're crying, someone cannot even play with you, is that how you use to do
bur seriously sha, focus on manly duties in the house whenever you're around, why you go just use kpomo scatter everywhere for pot, dem use kpomo swear for you

I dey wait to see your own. A meal may appear nice and palatable but it might not be sweet. If you like add all the necessary ingredient and spice to make a good meal if it is not sweet,it is wasted effort

deepwater:
OP was this a motivation from Mr EMMA story of this morning ?

it seems SL

LOL..see bashing

Using this method will make the food look mushy...

rather bring to boil stock fish,dryfish,ur pepper, boiled meat,..later add red oil,.allow to boil very well then put your egusi and cover,.stair after 1 or 2 min and add other stuffs...

whats up with scent leaf and in egusi soup are you from chad ...use pumpkin leaf,.the uziza leaf/sead...

Not through pictures.. Olodos and it's everywhere.
