[@brantleybode2578]

@Aldo Philip Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@brantleybode2578]

@Aldo Philip It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out !

[@AdaOkechukwuTV]

This ugu is so so fresh my god

[@shartystalkshowvlog9261]

DELICIOUS egusi soup

[@simplyjoecy]

Thank you 😊 🙏🏼

[@healthywithbenna]

I use bicarbonate to maintain the green color too. I have a huge bag of this limestone somewhere in my freezer way back from 2013 when we could still visit home freely😫. To achieve the lumps I cook my egussi in the microwave for 18 minutes in 6 minutes intervals. You get perfect lumps easily. I'll share my bitter leaf soup and egussi recipe. Back home mom taught us your method of doing the lumps sis. The results of this soup is amazing!!! Chia my and vegetables I could eat all that pot🤤🤤. I love eating mine with half ripe or green planti sis. Thanks for sharing 😍😍

[@simplyjoecy]

Wow. When you have a connoisseur watching your videos! Thanks for the amazing tips sis. Next time I’m using bicarbonate and the microwave method to achieve those lumps. Many thanks sisi 💖.

[@CarineFavour]

I like how u explained detaily. Chaiii your Afro shop sells fresh okongobong I am not sure I have seen it here. I will eat mine with garri 😋🙈

[@simplyjoecy]

Yes sis. They sell it though it’s pricey! I’ve never thought of trying it with garri. That’s my next target 😁.

[@VianasBeauty]

im just seated with my pen and paper to take notes.

[@Obianujukris]

600 gm of egusi, from the African store. You must hv spent a good sum there. This is how we cook our egusi soup. The difference is what oil you use. This reminds me on ndole. Looks yummy 😋. I like mine with fairly ripe plantains

[@simplyjoecy]

I bought 900 grams of ground egussi for £8.99 😩

[@ntohclau7508]

Wow dr I have learn a lot from u today

[@blessingslifestyle3623]

Omg u guys are so lucky to get fresh leaves, here is always frozen and dried lol, this soup is fire 🔥 😋 so rich and I'm sure very tasty nice one 👍

[@simplyjoecy]

We do get fresh leaves here from time to time. There’s frozen as well. This tastes amazing. My husband couldn’t get enough of it 😄. Thanks for always watching and sharing your thoughts 💖.

[@patrickmanuelalenkouengame8174]

Please it's spinach leave ?i'm in england where can i find these leaves?

[@simplyjoecy]

Hi @Patrick these are not spinach leaves, it’s okongobong leaves. I bought them from an Asian store. It’s usually displayed on the outside tables or you can ask them for “ugu leaves” (that’s the Nigerian name for it)

[@therobinsonfamily7719]

this is a lovely dish hon. im curious on how it would taste

[@simplyjoecy]

It is scrumptious hun 😋

[@afrocareprincess4685]

Chai let me head to the kitchen right away Looks so apetising

[@simplyjoecy]

Thank you darling for watching. Happy cooking 😊.

[@VianasBeauty]

my egusi always gets burned and what i do is to change the pot. im enjoying this so far

[@simplyjoecy]

That’s the best thing to do if you end up with burnt egussi though the burnt smell will still be there.

[@healthywithbenna]

Oh! You guys have fresh Okongbong out there?

[@simplyjoecy]

Yes sis. But the price ehhh hmmm

[@JustLyddia]

This looks so yummy 😋 😍 the explanation were just 👏.. my dream is to one day visit different African countries and try their traditional food 🥰

[@simplyjoecy]

If you ever have a chance to visit Cameroon you’ll enjoy most of our traditional meals. We have a lot and they are all scrumptious.

[@engagingstorieswithekupe9612]

Lovely video Want to eat😍😍 Looks delicious My question is, what if I'm using dry okonhobong?

[@simplyjoecy]

Hi Ekupe, you can dissolve limestone in water and add the liquid to boiling water or alternatively, just add a little bit of bicarbonate of soda to your boiling water then add your dried okongobong to it. Let it boil for about 5-7 minutes then squeeze. The rest of the cooking process is the same after your dried okongobong has been steamed and squeezed. Hope this helps. Thank you.

[@LydiaIsaacTv]

Very well explained and detailed. The egusi came out really lumpy

[@simplyjoecy]

Thank you sisi

[@blessingslifestyle3623]

The egusi formed so perfectly 👌 too

[@simplyjoecy]

Thank you so much mama 🤗😘.

[@Ogormjt]

This looks so yummy 😋😋

[@simplyjoecy]

Thank you Ogor my darling. 😘

[@dorcasekupe6532]

Wow Love this Can I add water leaves instead ?

[@simplyjoecy]

I’m not sure water leaves would give you the same or similar result since its so soft and a little slimy…

[@JoyLifeStyle123]

You can get ugwu leaves in u.k ? Oh mine I can't say enough of how have missed this vegetable I don't cook nothing without my ugu ,you did so well sis .with this recipe I can't attest enough so endearing 😋😋😋

[@simplyjoecy]

We have fresh vegetables here from time to time though it’s so pricey! Thank you for watching sis. 😘

[@JoyLifeStyle123]

@@simplyjoecy oh wao !! Thanks alot too dear 🙏

[@sipinish5310]

So delicious but you should have just boiled the lumps instead of frying. That's how we roll here.

[@simplyjoecy]

Thank you 🙏🏼 though after this video i learned a better way of making the lumps in the microwave. You just mix the egussi with a little bit of water and pop it in the microwave for about 2 minutes max and it hardens then you cut it into the size of lumps that you want.

[@Ninaissend]

Normally when u cook egussiwith little water, it forms lumps. U didn't need to fry like u did

[@simplyjoecy]

Thank you. I learned that after I made the video. Also when you mix the egusi with little water and put in the microwave for a minute it becomes hard then you can cut the lumps to your desired sizes.
