EKWANG / EKPANG NKUKWO / African Food eaten in Cameroon and Nigeria

Ekwang or Ekpang Nkwkwo is incredibly delicious! Eaten in both Cameroon and Nigeria, it is a meal made up of grated cocoyams (taro) wrapped in cocoyam leaves (taro leaves) then cooked with red palm oil and other ingredients. It has a rich flavor and hands down one of my favorite meals in the whole world! Hope you enjoy watching me make this African food.

Hello Precious Ekwang is my traditional meal, we will usually put the Kontry onions last to give it that aroma. I have not made Ekwang for a while getting the leaves abroad is like a miracle. Delicious meal, this is my first meal I am planning to eat when I travel home.

[@PreciousKitchen]

Thanks for that tip, sis! I will try it that way next time.

[@neveroutworked254]

[@PreciousKitchen]

That's right! It tastes way better when eating with fingers!

[@veroniquealobwede]

Do you find little particulars when you use the juicer to purée the cocoyam? Because I get quite a bit of particulars when used the a juicer and I end up using the blender to purée it again. Double work.

[@nsibidiakwaabasi7456]

Precious: We call it Ekpang nkukwo ikpong in Ibibio; Ekpang connotes a kind of wrap, nkukwo is the very tender sprout of the cocoyam leaves and finally, ikpong means cocoyam. We share similar culture / ancestry with Western Cameroon I believe.

[@Ruthysworld]

You are right. You know your history. We were once the same country.

[@Essynana55]

Ur husband is lover of good food

My favourite food as well but cooking it is never easy I must confess. Beautiful head wrap and it looks so beautiful in you

[@PreciousKitchen]

Thank you, sis. Cooking is not easy at all.

[@ladyd3217]

I used to think wrapping ekwang is a herculean tasks until I lived in Buea and my southwest friends from Tiko did it like no man's business in little to no time. I then learned and became an expert. Unfortunately there's no explanation on how to do it quick but I think u get better and faster with practice. It's no longer too much work for me. Thanks lady P for yet another dish on my weekend menu. Ekwang on my mind for tomorrow's meal. Love love 💘

[@MiikaHeartsMando]

Precious hi! Do you have better luck finding these long taro root in farmers markets or oriental markets? The mainstream grocery stores carry the small/round root which doesn’t work in making Ekwang.

[@PreciousKitchen]

Hi, I found them at an Oriental market. Yes, the small round ones do not work for Ekwang. Hope you are able to find some.

[@njimbuacolette2896]

Enjoy dear! This deliciousness is too much. Please I need my own head wrap, please, please, please

U can add tomatoes to give it more delicious taste

[@veroniquealobwede]

I used a juicer but could still have some particulars not completely purée. I had to use my blender to process again. Have u had such experience?

[@PreciousKitchen]

Hi, no I haven't experienced that. Could it be the kind of juicer? Mine is a Breville if that helps.

[@asedsehclaire2785]

U can add tomatoes to give it more delicious taste,but its obptional i doubted at first when i tasted it it was better with tomatoes

Awesome Precious. What's the name of that Machine?

It's a juicer. The particular brand is Breville.

This would taste so yummy if you even put the cocoyam roles, salt, coconut cream, chili pepper, ginger, onion and fish maybe even corned beef. I wonder if you could do this with yam, plantain or green banana! With slices of okra thrown in....omg my mouth is watering!! Your cooking looks delicious!

The people of the Oroko tribe in Cameroon call it "Ekpang." It is their traditional dish, and they are the originators. I honestly don't know how Non-Orokos in Cameroon came up with the name "ekwang"

Hi Precious I am your fan. I have always had a problem of getting an appliance for grating the cocoyams. I bought a similar appliance like the one you used in the video but it didn't grating the cocoyams smooth. Can you advice me on what to buy? Thanks

[@PreciousKitchen]

Hi dear, it might be that other brands of juicers don't grate the cocoyams well. I used a Breville juicer. What brand did you get?

[@fobisongtonjock1404]

I got the Mueller brand.

so EKPANG evolved into Ekwang in Cameroun..these are basically the same people divided by artificial borders...
