I didn't see u use the stock from the beef. Is it d8scarded? I shall be making this soup for the man after my heart. Is this the real Ngwa soup? I need to wow him
For this soup, you dint need to blend the okazi... Jut put the strands like that, it will get soft in the soup but you need to be seeing it in the soup
Yes.. the usu acts as a binder to hold the Egusi together if not the Egusi balls won't be strong. For the thickner, achi or ofor is fine but achi is preferable because ofor thickens too much unless you use very little quantity.. Ede will give it a different taste and texture
Thank you for watching. Sorry I forgot to add in the video that it can be added towards the end if you want it crunchy.. adding it earlier allows the whole taste of the achara to be released

@@favouritechefella You're welcome sis. I made the mgbam but I noticed it was a bit sandy.
@@gmproductions621 chai! Sorry about that.. Maybe the egusi was has some sand in it.. Next time pick the egusi carefully before grinding
The okazi leave you added last you didn't blend it abi will it still be soft?
For this soup, you dint need to blend the okazi... Jut put the strands like that, it will get soft in the soup but you need to be seeing it in the soup
The soup is not exclusive to Umuahia and Ngwa because they are not the only people in Abia that it's their delicacy.
Bende cooks it
Ok.. Thank you for the correction.. I know better now
@@favouritechefella you are welcome, my sister.
We from Igbere cooks it and proud of it as well.
You represented Abia well.
Well done.
Is the nzu necessary and for the thickener, can cocoyam be used instead of achi
Yes.. the usu acts as a binder to hold the Egusi together if not the Egusi balls won't be strong. For the thickner, achi or ofor is fine but achi is preferable because ofor thickens too much unless you use very little quantity.. Ede will give it a different taste and texture
Is not only umuahia n ngwa people all abia
You're right.. Thank you for engaging
You added your achara too early even though am not from the two States mentioned.
Thank you for watching. Sorry I forgot to add in the video that it can be added towards the end if you want it crunchy.. adding it earlier allows the whole taste of the achara to be released
Please does the Achara have any flavor or taste to the soup? Especially if added early because I prefer mine crunchy
😋😋💯💯
