Im actually a asian .. I love eating and trying african foods.. My tanzanian friend and myself ( helped him ) cooked Jollof rice. I loved it. He even told about this waakye rice, waakye stew ..and we gonna make it.. 🙃 thank you for your video

[@audreyahadze7351]

Loved to hear this! I love Asian dishes as well and love trying my hands on them in my kitchen

[@JosyRock1]

This is the best waakye stew I have watched on KZbin

[@berlayaa3211]

Please just a tip, when cooking Wele, don't add salt in the beginning because when you do, it takes time to be soft. When it's almost done, you can add the salt. The same thing applies to beans. Well done, yummy stew

[@Lamicooks]

Thank you Teniola, well noted 😊

[@truejoy3821]

Easiest and fastest way to make it soft faster is onions! Add more onions during the meat cooking session.

[@TheGhanaboy41]

Thanks for the tip.

Hi Lami, tbh you are one of the best KZbin Gh cooks! Waakye is one of my fields too but watching your style gave a little boost. Might I ask, what's the difference between using fresh tomatoes and plum tomatoes? Did you intentionally use fresh?

[@marylovely4817]

Pls did u do something to the tomato paste

[@InstantInsightNewsHub8943]

I normally add salt to my wele at the beginning with baking soda. The baking soda helps to soften the wele in no time.

[@Lamicooks]

Good tip Annie. Thank you dear 😊😊😊

Dis is too yummy I will definitely try it

[@aseyediaba4479]

Lami , I have a few questions for you. In your eid video, you added kawu to your stew to remove the sourness from it. 1. You had it stored in water... what is the ratio of water to kawu in the jar 2.what is the shelf life of that 3.how long must the kawu dissolve in the water solution before you start using it 4. What is the best way to store it? Do you leave it on the kitchen top or refrigerate it . 5. When is the best time to add kawu to the tomatoes to remove the sourness Sorry I am asking you so many questions ... it helps me understand how to use it properly

[@Lamicooks]

Ok Aseye 1. To be honest it depends, I eye ball it. But you can add about 1 cup of kawu to 3 cups of water and store to be used when needed. 2. Since it's a form of a rock, store as long as 6 months or more. 3. You can use it minimum about 3hours. 4. I store it on the counter top and use when needed, no need to store in fridge. 5. Once the stew has fried and you still taste the sourness, sometimes after cooking the stew down, you dont need to add the kawu. I hope I have answered all your questions 😊

[@aseyediaba4479]

Lami cooks yes you did. Thanks a lot

[@atsweiadjei1181]

Lol😂 I was to say that at the end when u said it but all the same it is good to learn so please feel free and ask questions

[@chefbrittadarkwa8998]

Love you sis going to try making it. Good job. My question to you is how do it get dark like the one in Ghana pls?

[@Lamicooks]

By frying or cooking it longer. The longer it stays on fire, the darker it becomes.

[@keearata]

Chef Britta to make the stew darker you can also fry onions separately make sure to look burnt like blend with your fresh onion, tomato, ginger and other species.

[@chefbrittadarkwa8998]

@@keearata thank you 🙏

[@catherinenkansah4859]

My experience with spices tells me it’s the cloves that gives the dark color like back home.
