So, what can we cook for you today?

I haven't eaten ofeakwu in a while so I decided to make it over the weekend. "Ofeakwu" is a particular delicacy owned by Nnewi people in Anambra state. It's banga stew for rice. Often times, I have seen people from different states claim they make the best ofeakwu and I will just smile.
The truth is no one make ofeakwu better than an Nnewi woman. Na dem get am🤣🤣😂. Make una no come for me oo😂😂.
Meanwhile Okwuluora when are you coming to Nnewi? I will ensure you have a taste of this ofeakwu😜. Sha buy something when coming back from Germany o. Thank you.

Breadfruit (Ukwa) is one of the most expensive delicacies in the eastern part of Nigeria in recent years. While some enjoy eating it together with the water, some others enjoy either sieving out the water or cooking it till the water dries up. In whichever case, it's a delicious cuisine.
Unfortunately, cooking it can be challenging sometimes cos you can buy some and even after cooking for hours, it still won't get properly cooked(soft).
Here are some tricks that will help you.

✅ In any case you buy dried ones, after washing, soak in water for some hours before cooking.
✅ Then when cooking, add either ngu, potash or baking soda.
I know what's going through your mind right now. Baking soda😱?
Yes! baking soda works like magic. It softens the Ukwa faster and it's totally safe. Try this method and thank me later.
Meanwhile, what protein do you like with your Ukwa?
With dried fish, ice fish or meat?
