Moi Moi, learning the simple steps to make this highly nutritional meal 

 

Moi Moi is a very popular food in Nigeria. It could be paired with Akamu (pap), custard or even jollof rice and served as a breakfast or lunch.

INGREDIENTS

7 Cooked Eggs optional

1/2 cup vegetable oil

3 seasoning cubes

Salt to taste.

1 cup sliced onions

10 Shombo pepper adds the reddish color

1 cup crayfish

3 cups of beans

HOW TO PREPARE MOI-MOI

*Parboiled the fish, removed center bones and break into smaller bits. Set the stock aside.

*Remove seeds from the shombo (pepper) and wash/peel the beans

*Combine crayfish, shombo, onions, and blend into a smooth paste.

*Transfer into a large bowl then add oil, fish, 2 seasoning cubes, fish stock, and stir all together.

*Taste for salt.

*Distribute in plates or moi moi wrappers and cook for 35 minutes

*This is how – drop the plates in the pot, three or four per row.

*Add water simultaneously making sure it doesn’t top the first plate.

*Cover tightly and cook for 35 minutes.

*After 35 minutes, bring out one of the plates to see if it is well cooked.

Note: When it is well cooked, it takes some 1-3 hours to cool and solidify like the moi moi you buy from restaurants.
