How to cook ugu & Uziza soup like a pro ! Get ready to be hooked . | Nigerian food .

this is the second version of the ugu and uziza soap i shared not too long ago it is so easy you'll love this one just as much so keep watching let me show you how in a pot i'll go in with my protein of choice which is goat meat you can use beef, bush meat, any protein at all that you prefer i've added some cow skin and snails please give this snail if you don't like it next i'll go in with some stockfish head i prefer stockfish head for native soaps i find it to be a little bit more delicious yes i said it all right so i added some chopped pepper, seasoning and a bit of salt stir everything well to combine cover and let it steam for 15 minutes without adding water today's virtual hug is for gift watching from france thank you for always watching and liking my videos please let me know where you're watching from in the comment section so while that is going i'll prep the vegetables this is the uziza leaf see how fresh it is looking you want to pick it remove anyone that is not so fresh or that is bad i also have the ugu here looking very lush and fresh i'm going to wash all the vegetables thoroughly you want to wash it multiple times be sure there is no sand in your vegetable you don't want sand in your soup at all it is not pleasant okay so wash them very well and set aside so let's quickly check on our protein it's been 15 minutes and at this point you'll notice some liquid in the pot which is good that came from the meat if you're patient enough you're going to let that liquid dry back into the protein before you go in with water it's going to ensure a very delicious protein so i went right ahead to add some water and cooked for another 10 minutes now i'm going to take out this snail just before it is completely cooked because i don't want it to overcook the rest of the protein is still a bit tough i'm going to continue cooking that until it is about 90 percent done back to the vegetables i'm going to slice the ugu first and with this you want to slice as thin as possible you don't want it to be like long strands in the soup for this soup you actually don't need a lot of vegetables so i did not use all that vegetable you saw in the beginning no i'm going to use about two handfuls each all right so the ugu is done this is it see how fresh it is looking next i'm going to slice the uziza leaf as well so i use two handfuls of both the ugu and the uziza each at this point the goat meat is ready i'm going to now add water for the soup the water you should add depends on the quantity of soup you're making i'm going to reintroduce the snail some fish using ejakika you can use smoked catfish as well a bit more pepper some crayfish stir this in well to combine and allow it come to a boil you can also taste at this point and adjust with seasoning or salt if necessary i thought i needed a bit more seasoning so i went in with some seasoning after another 10 minutes i come back check on the soup it is looking good i'm going to now go in with good quality palm oil check the description box for the one i'm using all right so once you add the palm oil i'm going to go in with some ogilisi oh my god after the ugu and uziza leaf the next star of this dish is the ogilisi it is going to you know elevate the soup can i use iru dada or ogiri okpei the answer is yes but if you want this soup to really bang look for ogilisi all right so once i add your ogilisi i'm going to cover this and allow it to boil again for another seven minutes with this method you need a thickener i'm using achi as my thickener and i'm going to dissolve it with some of this stock now dissolving it will help ensure that there is no lumps in this soup can you use ofo or coco yam absolutely you can use ofo or coco yam so once i dissolved it i added it into the stock went in with the uziza leaf first because uziza is a bit tough you want it to cook down to release all of its beautiful aroma into the soup so stir that in well to combine and allow it go for another five minutes five minutes later i check on the soup the aroma here was nose-blinding give it a quick mix and then i'm going to add the ugu at this point now you can see it is not very thick you don't want this soup to thicken up while it's still on fire so use very little amount of the achi or ofo a little will go a long way so at this point i go in with two handfuls of the ugu stir this in well to combine and let it simmer for another two three minutes still watching then this is a good time to please click the like button and subscribe if you haven't subscription is free hit the bell as well so you get notified anytime i upload a new video thank you five minutes later the aroma was everywhere so yummy i'm going to stir on this very quickly and take it off the heat i know someone is going to say the vegetables look overcooked it is not overcooked though but if you like as soon as you add the ugu stir it and take it off the heat okay now you can see the consistency it is not so thick this is exactly how you want it to look because by the time it cools down it is going to thicken up some more and i'll show you what it looks like in a few minutes meanwhile you want to make your fufu your apple your semu and enjoy it with it i had this with plantain and yam fufu i'll link that video in the description box this is the same soup 40 minutes later you can see it is now thick at this point i said i should have added a bit more water but the consistency was just right look at that perfect now all that is left is to serve and enjoy if you can perceive the aroma
