MULLA KOMBO || OKRA, SPINACH & BEEF STEW COOKED WITH PEANUT BUTTER & KOMBO (BICARB SODA/MAGADI SODA)

Kombo is a South Sudanese dish made by combining okra, spinach, meat, kombo (bicarbonate soda or magadi soda) & peanut butter. This recipe does not include onions or spices but since people cook it differently, other people add onions and spices.
This is how I make my kombo. However, this meal has many different variations that may or may not include okra and spinach. The way it is prepared is dependent on which part of South Sudan you come from. It is not common in my area but I learnt how to cook it a few years back.
INGREDIENTS LIST:
1kg beef
1kg okra
250g frozen spinach
Kombo (1 teaspoon) - (also known as bicarbonate soda or magadi Soda)
Canola oil for cooking
3 table spoons peanut butter
2 chicken stock powder
Salt to taste
**Please note that the amount of kombo (bicarbonate soda/magadi soda) used is a matter of preference since it has a bitter taste and some people like it bitter, while others prefer it on the milder side.
HOW MY FAMILY & I EAT THIS: This can be eaten with kisra (Sudanese flat bread), injera (Ethiopian flat bread) or asida/ugali (a popular East African staple dish made with maize flour)

The job is well done my sister

Thank you ☺️

[@denisefrickey5636]

This looks delicious. I love both okra and spinach. I am curious about the kombo/bicarbonate of soda. Here it is white and often called baking soda. I have never seen it dark or sandy.

[@asedoskitchen]

What I’m using here is Kombo/magadi soda also known as soda ash. It maintains the dark colour and sandy form as it’s not processed.
Baking soda or bicarbonate soda is white in colour and is a good alternative to Kombo because of its alkaline composition. Thank you

[@MarkKKyalo]

This is good. As part of making this better, kindly indicate the time it takes for every step of cooking to have this sumptuous meal ready.

[@ab9822]

What does the kombo do exactly?

[@asedoskitchen]

Kombo gives the stew a very distinct taste. I stand to be corrected on this but I think it also gives the vegetables a nice bright colour.

[@ab9822]

@@asedoskitchen thank you for replying. Just to confirm, is Kombo baking soda?

[@asedoskitchen]

@@ab9822 you’re most welcome dear. Yes, you can use baking soda instead of Kombo when you cannot get Kombo since it is usually from South Sudan & Sudan. If in Kenya, it’s also known as magadi soda.

[@ab9822]

@@asedoskitchen thanks!

[@NyandengAGarang]

Wait, is that frozen spinach or frozen pumpkin leaves 🤔?

[@asedoskitchen]

It’s frozen spinach ☺️

[@NyandengAGarang]

@@asedoskitchen recently got frozen pumpkin leaves in a local grocery store and that's what I've been cooking with my sukumawiki 😅😅

[@tausikarimi3976]

Is Kombo Baking Soda?

[@asedoskitchen]

Baking soda is an alternative for Kombo.

[@callmeGloria1821]

So u used magadi soda not bi carbonate right?

[@asedoskitchen]

Yes I used magadi soda. I usually use bi-carbonate soda when I run out of magadi soda

[@callmeGloria1821]

Does it work the same?

[@asedoskitchen]

@@callmeGloria1821 yes it does. If I use bi-carb, I use half the amount of magadi needed for the recipe.
