How to Make Water Fufu from Scratch - Cassava Fufu - Precious Kitchen - Ep 40

[@iyabijengsi1759]

Hi Precious, water fufu, yum yum. Thanks for sharing the tip of the baking soda. I actually made some 7 years ago, but like you mentioned, I used sunlight and the heat. It took me 3 days to ferment in the garage, given the scorching heat of summer. I definitely picked up this new trick of using soda. Thanks so much. love your kitchen. You have dealt with me today. Iya.

[@PreciousKitchen]

Iya Bijengsi thanks for sharing dear. It is really ideal to make in the summer. Glad you can use the baking soda tip.

[@ademako]

Thanks for the baking soda tip. I made water fufu once by mistake. I soaked cassava for bobolo and after 2 weeks it still wasn't soft. Not even a little bit. So I gave up on the bobolo and blended and turned into water fufu because I didn't know what else to with the cassava. It turned out great. Next time I'll try with baking soda

[@PreciousKitchen]

ademako so glad the tip is helpful, dear. Please let me know how it goes.

[@mamalionness]

We have exact thing in Ghana. We call it cassava dough in its uncooked state. When cooked like yours, we call it fuufuu. We eat it with okra soup mainly. Thanks for sharing. It was lovely the way you did it.

[@PreciousKitchen]

Nora Djanmah wow that's interesting! So much food fusion in Africa. Thanks for your comment, dear.

Love this. I am wondering why you didn’t add in the water you squeezed out instead? PS I grew up in Cameroon 🇨🇲❤️

[@akoteclaire1171]

this sister is the best . I love all i mean all the recipes you pit up here. you are indeed an inspiration. I tried making waterfufu years ago and it stayed in water for 2 weeks still no fermentation 🤣🤣🤣 finally i trashed it. hmmmm now i can say i am fully equipped for chrismass🤣🤣. will b trying it. then please i have a question on how to preserve it if i do not want to cook it at the moment? thank you once more dear sister

[@ethelokoi]

This video just reminded me of my early days in bamemda. Great job.

[@PreciousKitchen]

Thanks, dear!

[@sergiusgamseh6993]

ABAKWA 💯

[@jwanbass]

It took me about 3/4 tries and a lot of failing to finally get this right! Not a fan of the smell but I prefer this over the flour version weather its cassava or corn flour....For some reason this version is the easiest for me to get right over the others! I also noticed the baking soda and sitting it outside in the humid sun really accelerated fermentation after 7 days inside. By the 3rd day outside it was ready to go!Thanks alot!

[@dwaynedavis7703]

Im from Jamaica and saw that in movies and was sooo curious in knowing what it is. Thanks for sharing oh i wish i could have some now!! I will try to make it on my own. Wish me luck.😝😝👍

[@PreciousKitchen]

Dwayne Davis hope you enjoy, dear.

[@yourfreedom1057]

Here I am watching as a Jamaican too and definitely have to try it 😃😃

[@jackie9068]

Please save some of the fermented water in your fridge to start the next batch of fermentation. Take out the night before add a little sugar and add the whole thing to your next batch and continue the process or just save a table spoonful and add some to the new fermentated water to it. Just like sour dough. Learn to do sourdough and your life will be much easier. We have been fermenting for thousands of years. Please dont rush the fermentation process because you are introducing natural yeast, fungus and bacteria to protect you and build your immune system. When you rush the fermentation process you do not have enough of nature's goodness in the fufu. We use this to make bammy but we dry it in the sun. Or making cassava dumpling without drying in the sun. You can use ghanian gari it is already done. Thank u for the video. Afro people all cook the similar food with a twist. Let us enjoy our cultural community food once again.

Thank you aunty precious for this tip. I’ll definitely try this at home

[@lilianokafor1142]

love this, thanks for making out your time to create this

[@helenfusi8215]

Precious, the reason for putting under the sun to next to fire (not too close) is because the fermentation happens with heat. That is what the baking soda does - provide heat. But then the water fufu taste stinky with the baking soda. I have tried this and I don’t like it. What I have done is bought fresh cassava ( your neighborhood grocery store can tell you when they have fresh cassava ) use aluminum pot to soak, not cement or plastic bowl, then leave it in sun. ( I have soaked in all kinds of containers and aluminum works magic for me - do t know why) . I do two or three boxes during summer and put in ziplock for the rest of the year.

Nice one sis thanks for sharing, unfortunately my cassava refuses to ferment o. It's been more than a week, this cassava is proving very stubborn. 😂

[@PreciousKitchen]

I can imagine. It can be so stubborn sometimes especially if it's in a cold environment. Is it somewhere warm? Also, did you add baking soda?

[@BrenAch25]

I’m wondering how to add boiled water to the cassava. Do I pour the water in the cassava or on the cassava (is it to create a warm environment around the container?). Please help, in Europe we are already in The cold season.

[@PreciousKitchen]

No, don't pour the hot water into the cassava. Pour the hot water in another container with a tight fitting lid and place the container with the hot water on the container with the cassava. This will just help provide a bit of warmth to the cassava so it's not too cold. Hope this helps.

Very nice! In the southern part of Nigeria we have a lot of names for water-fufu such as Loi-loi, Akpu, packetshirt, man power, Santana...you just can't name them. I'm glad I watched ur video. Thanks for the good job and for making us feel at home.

[@PreciousKitchen]

Madonna Egedeye Oti those names are hilarious? Man power?? 😂😂 So glad you loved the video, dear. Thank you so much!

[@ChiomaxD]

Hello aunty. I tried making this, but the fufu became so stretchy, almost like glue. And it was transparent. Not white like yours and the akpu I'm used to. Why? Was the heat too high or I overlooked it?

[@PreciousKitchen]

Stretchy fufu is actually good. However, it shouldn't be so stretchy like glue. You probably added too much water and/or overcooked it.

In Trinidad ( Caribbean) the process is known as pound cassava

[@PreciousKitchen]

Arthur Nunez good to know!

[@8AUGS]

Also called Pounded Cassava in Igboland. All FuFus are pounded with mortar. This is another way to make it when away from motherland.

[@8AUGS]

Precious Kitchen, I read somewhere that different Cassavas have different amount of Cyanide level, purportedly higher levels in African. So, did you discard/change the soaking water everyday during the fermenting period, or wash the Cassava thoroughly after it's been soaked, in order to reduce the amount of Cyanide level. I would also think that high level of Cyanide will cause the FuFu to taste bitter. Maybe something you would like to investigate and mention in your video for those that are not aware, especially if you have younger African audience. Thanks.
