Good evening friends, it's been a while, i trust y'all are doing great. On tonight's episode of how i prepared a banging oha soup, i will love to share the procedures and ingredients needed in preparing this delicious native soup. In Nigeria, igbo tribe precisely are known for preparing oha leaf with cocoyam.
Below are the ingredients used in preparation:
1custard of cocoyam
1bunch of oha leaf 🌿
1cup of periwinkle
5 sizeable dry fish
1kg of Goat meat
7 small fresh pepper
3 seasoning cube
1cup of red oil
1spoon of fermented melon
Crayfish
4cups of water
2 spoon of salt
Steps in preparation:
Step1- i washed the cocoyam with water and boil it about 20mins till it softens, then i washed my goat meat and seasoned it with fresh pepper, 1 seasoning cube, i allowed it fo boil for 10minutes before adding 1/2teaspoon of salt to taste.
Step2-: while the meat is still boiling, i peeled the cocoyam and pound it, i added a little red oil for it not to be too gummy and can easily be scooped out after pounding.
Step3- when I'm done pounding the cocoyam, i grinded the pepper and crayfish together and poured it in the steaming meat, i added 1cup of water for it not to dry much.
Step 4- the next thing I added was the remaining 2 seasoning cube, fermented melon, dry fish, while waiting for it to boil, i picked the vegetable, separating it from the stem and washed it 3times
Step 5- next is to add red oil and the cocoyam, i scooped in the cocoyam gently, this will make it not to form any seed as it dissolves
Step6- next is to add salt and water that will be enough for the soup and lastly add the periwinkle, give it a good stir and cover the pot for some minutes before adding the vegetable (oha).
My oha soup is ever ready to be served, I'm eating it with fufu, because it goes hand in glove with it 😋. The looks on my face and every wraps shows how sweet it is 😁🤗.
I hope this guidelines will surely help you in preparing yours, have a good night rest as i will sleep soundly tonight 😃😊.
