It is not igbo snake 😠😠😠 you wan to steal our food na it's the urhobo food lol 🤣🤣🤣

This evokes so much nostalgic feelings, especially the termites. That's when life was simpler. Thanks for keeping us connected with home.

[@samuelbishop3015]

One thing l like about you is that you are real I love your cooking style and once l teach my wife she became professional automatically. Thanks alot

[@FloChinyere]

I'm glad to read that. Thank you. 💛

[@PrisTvv]

We call it elile oka, they use enough unblended crayfish in preparation and it tastes so sweet. Oh! This reminds me home, I'm craving for some now.

[@augustinaunaeze4395]

Flo, thank you for teaching us how to prepare and cook Igbangwu Oka.

[@NosagirlTV]

😂😂. My God I have missed this delicacy. We call it Ekusu. It’s definitely a meal my grandma loves. Thank you for sharing this goodness 😁👍

[@officialblessingoTvcooks]

Yea true 😁❤❤

[@IjeomaGloriaAnopueme]

My 5 ingredient Egusi soup was ebe ano.🍽 My replacements were dry fish for stockfish and Uziza leaf for bitter leaf.The Uziza made it more spicy ù I cooked very small portion so in case of any comma,I will either forget about the soup or kukuma add more ingredients.Thanks for sharing.I'm really glad I tried this out.

[@ZIKKIESWORLD]

Ijeoma gloria Anopueme hahahahaha you had to make small portion Incase of any coma,

[@FloChinyere]

Lol @ comma! You can only get a full stop with that recipe o. You can't mess it up even if you tried. Yes, uziza will make it 👌 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@treasurekitchen]

Ohhh Flo you too much. You just reminded me of my uncle's wife, she was well known for the business of usu oka. I so much loved eating it. Thanks so much for this

[@UK-sm4co]

I know this meal but minus the termite. A friend made it for me once and I fell in love with it. In her case, she used very soft corn only (not old one) roughly grounded it and put pepper, salt, maggi and red oil.

[@adesewaiwalewa7621]

Sis, you need a Vitamix blender since you don’t like adding water. I love the way you display your Igbo/West African traditional cuisine.

[@DNVlogsLife]

does that blender also grind dry ingredients like if one wants dried crayfish?

[@michaelodo1371]

👍🏿

[@chikaokereke]

@@DNVlogsLife it can even grind rock lol. For its price, it can crush anything dear

[@abollyfash2234]

Sis yes o but first I need money. 😂 Thank you.

Nice one auntie Flo. I have been watching a lots of your videos, but with a different account. You are a wonderful woman. Thanks

[@Nenyenwa95]

Wawwwwww this is good. Thanks mummy, this is the kind of food we need in this channel not English food. Pls more Igbo recipe dear. I enjoy this corn pudding more with termites (a.k.a aku)

[@graceodezugo1263]

This is a very delicious meal. We call it igbagwu oka too. Now am missing my grandma.Thanks for taking me back to memory lane.

[@BellaPreshTV]

I once had this in the village and it had biscuit bone just like agidi jollof. My great grandma loved it too Very yummy recipe sis Chinyere.

[@UjuJustina]

wow my childhood favourite food, i love this food so much

[@DNVlogsLife]

When I saw Termites , I was like, now, Sister Flo, where do u find that one now? 😆😂😂

[@FloChinyere]

😂😂 It's even hard to find that in Nigeria these days. One of the ingredients that are going extinct.

[@fitawrarifitness6842]

@@FloChinyere do you use actual termites?

[@FloChinyere]

Fitawrari yes we do! No joke. Winged termites are a rich source of protein and are edible. Google it. One day when I see it in one of my market runs, I will share.

[@proud_african]

@@FloChinyere I was flogged n pepper was put in my eyes for my gluttony for this meal. Grandma made some n kept her own portion near d fireplace n I went n stole it with her dried meat in d ngigha. I hear weee that day. Grandma always had things that can make u loose ur sunday school training e.g fried n smoke dried worms from palm tree, fried termites, palm nut called "ojukwu", and dried meat hanging over the fire place. May her soul rest in peace.

[@FloChinyere]

@@proud_african You gorrit! Leftovers are usually left in the ngiga. chai o! You really loved this meal ... so much that fear gree you go to the sacred ngiga?! 😂😂😂 And yes I know that edible worm, we call it akpa nkwu. I have never eaten that one, I'm not that adventurous. 😂 Food dey o!

[@okechukwunwosu4164]

We call it ikpo oka. Use to eat it when i was younger but not really my favourite food. Whenever we pick termites at it's season, grandmother will surely prepare this.

[@ZIKKIESWORLD]

Eziokwu ka ikwuru Aunty My grandma makes this during Christmas to await our arrival from the city.the way you cut the liver I love it.

This is one Igbo food I can truly say that I have not had before. Flo can you cook it without the banana or uma leaves? Just curious. Anyways I will ask my mom about this food. i am sure this is the first time of seeing it. Thank you so much Flo. Now I have one new food I can try and hopefully my kids would like it. Thank you much for sharing.

[@FloChinyere]

Yes you can use foil bags, moi moi bowls, even bake in the oven with a muffin tray. It's only the texture that will be different. I would like to hear if Mummy knows about the meal.

[@ChibuikeUlasi]

I think it is called Ukpo Oka in nnewi. Please correct me if am wrong anyone from nnewi.

[@ChibuikeUlasi]

@@FloChinyere So I asked my mom about the meal and she said it is called Ukpo Oka in nnewi and she hated cooking it when she was young. She used mortar and pestle to prepare it hence why she hated it. She also said that her mom would prepare it with leafy vegetables. They didn't use termites when it was prepared. She also talked about Agbarụ-atii. She said her mom prepared it when she visited with her brothers. Anyways we learn everyday and thanks for using your platform to educate us all. I know for sure I will not make Agbarụ-atii or Ukpo Oka.

This is really my first time of seeing this kind of recipe I thought you were going to make "asusu oka" which is made with dry fish.. So I guess there could be other Igbo dishes am yet to discover. Thank you aunty Flo.

[@peachsemtv8018]

That's what she made. My people call it elule, oka. I am also aware of people who call it asusu oka.

[@peachsemtv8018]

We make ours with dry fish too, and it's of crayfish. The more traditional people use termites though. So I think it's a matter of preference.

[@shaqdaelianma8596]

It looks nice but we dont have it in Uganda but j will try it thk u

[@msnonny]

I love eating this 😋😋😋

[@bernicekitchen]

Aunty has come again oooh, I have not heard of this meal before, hope to try it soon. But is there any other way of wrapping it apart from moi moi leaf or banana leaf?

Wow well done, this is yummy. In my place we call it epiti

[@DORCASDIASRIESMAKINGMEMORIES]

Aunty Flo! I don't know this delicacy, but, I sabi peel corn at an alarmingly faster rate than what you're doing oooo😄😄😄 If I don't have leaves, what other material can I use to wrap it

[@FloChinyere]

😂😂😂 Corn peeling guru! 🙌🙌🙌 You can use any container for moi moi: foil bags or bowls. But the texture will be different.

If you like the texture of the real Igbakwu, only fresh corn will not give you that. It is messy. In fact for the realest texture use only semidry corn. I mixed them because I can't find semidry corn here.
