How to cook Ewedu like a pro. the easy way!

[@kgnvit]

I’m here from America in chicago …. I LOVE EATING WITH MY HANDS AND YOUR SUPPOSE TO WITH CERTAIN NIGERIAN FOOD ! Here in 2024 to support u thanks your a great cook !

[@zsanelrhodes4090]

personally I like when people show what their customs are, and keeping up their traditions they love in full force. It's actually very nice to see, please don't change! This soup looks lovely too!

[@MollyRollitt]

Chef Lola, I love how down to earth you are. I could listen to you share memories and learn recipes from you all day. Such a joy to find your channel. Thank you!!

[@cranialfluids09]

American here, I haven't the first clue of the ingredients of what you made or anything but this was amazing to watch. The traditional ways you spoke about and the advice you shared from your uncle still spoke to me on a deeper level, reminding me of my own uncles and aunts. I would love to try this dish one day and to learn more about your culture; adding the memories of your family helped give me just the smallest insight and what I saw was beautiful! thanks so much for sharing!

[@racheldcruz563]

I'm from northeastern part of India and this dish reminded me of our traditional village food, the amala that you made is same as we make using finger millet or wheat flour and the eduwu soup looks same like nettle soup, the only difference is we don't add crayfish and locust beans. Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe. God bless u.

[@Favour2020]

We Also Have Wheat And Millet Especially In The Northern Part Of Nigeria.

[@recreationalmusic1904]

I am from India but I don't know why I feel at home here. ❤️

[@TheSweetestChick]

This is the best video ever. Girl I’m not Nigerian but I should of been because I looooooooove this food and you found a way to show the recipe in a easy to follow manner. You are a godsend and a blessing. Thank you love

[@tastycity]

The ewedu looks so green and slimy and the almala so smooth and lump free! This recipe bring me lots of memories, I ate this alot in the streets of Lagos 🙈. Thanks for sharing chef Lola ✨❤️

[@benedictaedwards2094]

Thanks ma'am

[@justyowa]

Wow! I really enjoy the video, thanks for sharing I will definitely try your method.

[@kandeyakubu5477]

Thanks for sharing, this is great

[@unknwonunknown8847]

I'm from Sudan and we love the taste of ewedu but we call it Molokhia and we eat it with Sudanese Kisra. It's very healthy and light on the stomach.

[@cheflolaskitchen]

So good to know! I know it's also called Molokhia but I thought it's only in some parts of middle east and Egypt. Thanks for sharing.

[@faithabu4945]

I really enjoyed watching your video, very detailed and clear.

[@kemia3890]

Honestly, the best video I’ve seen so far

[@taiwofajana6611]

Love your honesty and how you speak of the traditional way of cooking amala, it is amazing 😊

[@cheflolaskitchen]

I'm glad you liked it! It's important to me to share the traditional methods.😊

[@dorcaso1619]

I like putting the pot on the floor and stirring it vigorously The best 👌

[@evelynbada4611]

So good to watch you cook one of my favorite dishes. Please what spice do you use to preserve your Alubo or Amala?, cus I make my own Amala powder. And why don’t my Ewedu draw!, I noticed the specie you use for your ewedu isn’t what we have in Northern part of Nigeria

[@ellendelights]

That looks super delicious, love that gorgeous Green color!!

[@MI6dr.GHausner7134]

Great video! Today is the first day I'll be making ewedu soup. I miss it after my youth service in the West. I hope it comes out well. By the way, you should be telling stories too. You have a well-controlled, beautiful story-telling voice.

I actually grew Ewedu at home in South Africa, now its time to make it.

[@cheflolaskitchen]

[@joeblow578]

Chef Lola, sounds like there's a consensus here... eat with your hands the way it's meant to be eaten! It looks so delicious... ❤️

[@robertaberta8821]

yes you should eat like you normally do without listening to ignorant people😚

[@MARIE-HEPHZIBAH]

I love this thanks but what spices do you use to preserve your yam flour

[@Mysasser1]

Eat it with your hands! Forget those people. I am American but I eat the way it's supposed to be eaten.

Hand mixer for amala is a game changer. Actually for any swallow.

I love this . I always have problems making it draw so this does not encourage me to prepare. I will try this method

[@QueenMiracleVEVO]

Thank you so much.

[@susanryman9948]

Eat with your hands! Those idiots will always find something to criticize. Miserable human beings. The color of green is brilliant. The texture reminds me of okra with its gelatinous consistency. Others are fortunate that you provide unique recipes and detailed instructions for the correct methods of cooking.

[@cheflolaskitchen]

Thanks Susan, you trulyhave a kind heart. I love eating my "swallow foods" with my hands and I actually ate the rest with my hands. I just wanted to call out the "perfect ones". 😂

[@sophiasophia5221]

Please I'll like to know how to preserve the leftover ewedu so that it retains the slime or draw?

[@samalamadingdong1317]

Hi, I am growing this plant here in Australia and I would like to make this recipe. Locust bean is carob bean, is yours fermented? How do I ferment it? Is this african dried crayfish? Do i reconstitute it in water first? I also grow my own cassava and am trying your fufu recipe! I usually make it into flour and make a dense loaf from it or sweeten and add coconut cream for a desert. Looking forward to your reply and trying lots of recipes. Thankyou so much.

[@cheflolaskitchen]

Yes, locust bean is carob bean and the one I used in this recipe is fermented. I haven't tried fermenting it myself because the proess is quite long and time consuming plus the smell. Here is a link on how to make it if you're interested www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3550919/#:~:text=Processing%20of%20locust%20beans%20involves,player%20in%20locust%20bean%20processing.

[@cheflolaskitchen]

You don't need to reconstitute the crayfish in water. Just use as is (ground) - Yes, I used the African dried crayfish

[@funmiwahaab5262]

What is the ingredients you used to preserve your elubo?

[@enebeliadebimpe6338]

Please what spice did you use to preserve elubo (yam flour)

[@florenceamaize9493]

Please what are the preservatives you used in preserving your elubo...yam or plantain flour. Thank you for the detailed tutorial on how to cook the ewedu. I cook mine for five minutes max...and I also blend as smoothie and drink raw.

[@wavelineentertainment1318]

Really nice looking. By the way how do you marinate your chicken 🐓. Please advise?

[@Bizz2k]

Exactly how I was taught by Big Mummies while growing up. We were taught to chop it on a board and we were taught to use the stunted brown as grandma's & big mummies didn't have that westernised kitchen equipment. And even if they were given, they'd never use it. But my parents being from the UK, brought the blender along and we used that. But to make Amala, it's good on the stove, then the hot pot is transferred to the floor with napkins used as a heat buffer while the pot is held with your feet, you vigorously mix and turn the content with your energy optimum to blend the amala smoothly and fluffy.

[@jimohhafsat7700]

I just used this recipe to make my ewedu and it came out so beautiful. Thank you.

[@OlusholaNutrition-tq1xq]

Thank you for the teaching. I celebrate you. I noticed you used himalayan salt to prepare the ewedu. This really impress me because of the 84 nutrients that are in himalayan salt. Please is goya powder a natural food ingredient? If it is, how can I get the goya powder?
