I need all this trick so i can make the best shito. The Stiring process is very necessary. Yes i can see the separation of the oil and onion. Woow. Lots of amane and shrimp powder, woow. This going to be fire 🔥.

[@estheraryee6778]

😮well done sister but I never add tomatoes puree no no I will put more onions to give more taste thanks for sharing

[@AkosuasVlog]

Thank you so much too for the input. As explained in the video, back home when we have seasons for which onions are in abundance, one can use only onions but when it’s scarce and you are making it commercially for resale, you can add a little tomatoes paste to it. There won’t be a change in taste too.😊

[@afiabonsu1194]

Tnx dear, I now the reason why my shito always go stale.

[@AkosuasVlog]

Thanks for the feedback sis. I do hope you enjoy your shito when next you prepare it.

[@keziahampomea8098]

Nice program.pls how can I get some of your bottles

[@AkosuasVlog]

Thank you so much but you can find a lot on Amazon

[@fasicaalemayehu9423]

My sister how can I make my Shinto I made yesterday a little mild. It turnout to be very hot ?

[@AkosuasVlog]

Please very hot as in spicy ?

[@mrs.abigailkoduah1523]

Can you please mixed the tomatoes with the onion ginger and boil for the start?

[@AkosuasVlog]

Yes you can but the reason we start with the onions and ginger is because it contains lots of water and we need to fry it till it turns dark in colour, before you mix the rest. It becomes a little hard to differentiate the colour when you add the tomatoes from onset. The procedure I showed is beginner friendly.❤️❤️

[@OwusuAlexander-iq8wg]

can you add garlic when brending

[@AkosuasVlog]

Of course you can, but less is moderate so that it doesn’t override the taste of the final product. Thanks for asking

[@vanessaasare2889]

Please did you add garlic to it?

[@AkosuasVlog]

Yes I did add the powdered form. You can alternatively blend the fresh one together with the onion and ginger. But use in moderation so that it doesn’t over power the aroma of the shito.

[@naakangah9604]

can i be helped with the ratio or the proportion of the ingredients

[@AkosuasVlog]

The ratio of onion to ginger is 2:1 The pepper is to your taste, if you can withstand the heat add more. Herring to shrimp ratio is also 2:1 because shrimps have sweeter taste so that it balances

[@AkosuasVlog]

Stay blessed too

[@fadiiibrahim9298]

I like the way you made it look cool but am allergic to shito☹

Hahaha, this is the first time of hearing someone being allergic to shito. 😀 You are missing out on a lot.

@@AkosuasVlog it's a secret

[@AkosuasVlog]

Hahahaha

[@marriannorman2334]

Please how can I change the stale taste from the shito, because I realized it has changed just after a week

[@AkosuasVlog]

To be honest, you cannot once it goes stale, but you can refry it, add a piece of charcoal in it and then make sure there is always oil on top of your shito, clean the sides with paper towels or tissues, and always make sure the spoon or fork is dry whenever you want to scoop some. Remember you can also refrigerate your shito or even put it in the freezer. Finally follow my procedure step by step next time too. Wishing you all the best.❤️❤️

[@NanaAmaNzoley]

Akos talking about the piece of charcoal is it when reheating or after. Thanks

[@MakkaMirrors]

Please long does it takes before it gets stale?

[@AkosuasVlog]

If you follow all the guidelines, it should take 6 months to a year before going stale.

[@NanaAmaNzoley]

Akosua, can the boaders use this kind of shito since it will be in their chopboxes. Won't it get stale.

[@AkosuasVlog]

It won’t go stale. My mum used the same recipe for me in my high school days and I could keep my shito for the three months in school without it going stale. All you need is to use dry spoon when you want to scoop some and clean the sides of the bottle ( I used the paint bucket, smaller size 😂😂, because I loved shito a lot), after scooping not forgetting that there should always be oil on top of it without the stew part showing.

[@NanaAmaNzoley]

Some glass containers would crack when it’s put in freezers. So plastics are preferable.

Not everyone is ghanian, you could have used english all throughor add subtitle to the non english part. Afterall, this is not a ghanian internet space
