[@ogunlekeolayinka8722]

Waoh! Beautiful and yummy yummy. I learnt something new but I have few questions: 1. Why did you add the water you used to soak the dry meat and smoked prawn to the meats inside the stock pot because I feel that water is dirty? 2. The way you wilted that Spinach, can I also do that for other leafy vegetables? Thank you, the great chef.

[@FloChinyere]

1. Remember that I said to clean the dry meat and oporo VERY well before soaking. Click 👉04:28 to see how I used a brush to clean the stockfish. That's exactly how I cleaned the dry meat before soaking. I show this procedure (when cleaning stockfish, dry fish etc) in a lot of my videos hence i no longer stress it too much. That water is stock/broth, not dirty at all. And this soup can benefit from every flavour you can add to it. You can throw the water away if you still think it's dirty. Use ordinary water. 2. Like I said in the video, spinach contains LOTS of water which will make what you are cooking watery and tasteless. I can't even think of any other leafy vegetable that contains as much water as spinach right now, water leaves don't even come close. So no need to do this with other leafy vegetables. For instance, if you steam ugu like that, you will see that hardly any water comes out. You are welcome. :)

[@LilyValentine]

I will try this recipe but will modify it and not wilt the spinach down. Can’t bear to have all that nutrients go down the drain. I will use it like that, watery and all - maybe will drastically reduce the fluid/stock that I will use for the soup in the first place.

This looks so yummy! I can't wait to try this. How long did you pressure cook the meat for? And if I don't have a pressure cooker, how long will it take to cook before adding it to the soup?

[@FloChinyere]

Without a pressure cooker cow tripe can take as much as 1 hour to cook but with my pressure cooker, once pressurized, 5 minutes max all the meats are cooked.

[@jennyluvonyem321]

I can wash the vegetables in the morning and cook at evening to drained the water too. If I don't want to fry?

[@FloChinyere]

Ok first, I did not fry it. I heated it up. I used a frying pan because for me, it does a better job of wilting the spinach quickly than a pot in such a way that the green colour is still intact. Second, the water we are talking about here is INSIDE the spinach and only comes out when you heat it up so even if you rinse the spinach a day before, that water will not magically leave the spinach, you MUST heat it up first.

[@elizabethojo5394]

Looks good.

[@abiolaadeyemi7311]

I will just add hot water to the spinach and squeeze it out, that way I don't over cook the veg also skip using extra pot. The idea is for the meat to cook inside the stew first b4 adding veg. Veg is the last thing that goes in. Shikena

[@Horlahbaby]

Very true, my way too. I just blanch the Spinach and the meat has to go Into the sauce first so as to soak up soup of the sauce before the veg goes in last minute.

[@FloChinyere]

We all have our own ways but I always try as much as possible to share the best practices for tasty meals. I have done these using all permutations and combinations before arriving at the method that gives the best overall taste. For me, tasty meals I can savor trumps tiny nutrient losses (if any) because I can easily recover those by eating raw fruits and veggies. And I believe there are those who follow me who feel this way too. My veg was not overcooked. Pour hot water or heat for a bit in a pan, same same, heat is involved. Scientifically for me, pouring hot water is more shocking and damaging than slowly bringing the temperature up. For the order of adding the ingredients: again for me, the seasoned sauce MUST touch the vegetables (especially this tasteless spinach) VERY well. That's the only way this soup will be tasty else it tastes like cardboard to me. Adding all that meat and fish before adding the vegetables will not allow the sauce to touch the vegetables very well and you will spend more time struggling to stir it unless you have one or two pieces of meat in there. All these take at most 2 minutes on high heat (for someone who is not recording a KZbin video) so the vegetable is not overcooked as can be seen from the green colour at the end.
