How To Make Uha Soup And Enjoy With Fufu by Greeny02(f): 10:30pm On Mar 15, 2015 |
Oha leaves (as required) Cocao yam (see the video below)(about 15 to 20 medium sizes) Meat of choice (chicken, assorted, beef, goat meat, turkey) Dry fish/mangala (as desired) Maggi (seasoning) 2 to 4 cubes Crayfish ( 2 cups) A handful of Uziza leaves (optional) 1 big Stock fish head Palm oil 15 to 20cl 0.2 cup of ofor or achi (as alternative thickener) Ogiri (local ingredients) salt and pepper to taste Whenever I am making soups with cocoa yam, I chose to buy a small quantity of ofor or achi to supplement insufficiency (just in case) maybe about 1 or 2 tablespoons How To Prepare Oha (ora) Nigerian Soup Time: About seventy minutes Wash the cocoa yam with just water and start cooking, cook until it is soft (you can check with your fingers), then peel off the outer back and pound with a mortar and pestle, the normal traditional way. Grind crayfish and fresh pepper (I like to use fresh pepper for most Nigerian foods) Pluck off the Uha leaves from the stem and slice with a kitchen knife, I like to shred the leaves with my fingers the exact way I learned from my mother (You will find how this is done from the video below, this method will ensure that the leaves are not shredded to tiny bits). In case you want to slice with a kitchen knife just to ease up the process be sure not to slice into very tiny bits. See the uha soup image above Parboil meat with the necessary ingredients, allow to cook for ten to fifteen minutes before adding the hot-water- washed dry fish and, (we use hot water to soak and wash dry fish/stock fish just to make sure the accompanying sand is washed off). Add the stock fish and cook until it is tender, Add more water then add red oil (palm oil), ground crayfish, maggi, salt and pepper to taste. Stir and allow boiling. At this point it should give a good soupy taste (even though it would be watery) Then add the pounded cocoa yam as you can find in the video below (at this point you can add the ground egusi if you choose to make oha soup with egusi, which is also a very tasty recipe. Remember I told you that either egusi, achi or cocoa yam can serve as the thickener for this popular Igbo soup). Also add the ogiri at this point. Stir; allow to dissolve before adding the sliced uziza leaves then uha leave should follow after a minute. Stir and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes and you just made a very delicious oha soup (ofe ora). Serve with eba, fufu or pounded yam |

You do NOT slice Oha leaves with knife. Its a No No. Plus the quantity of cocoyam you have there, you must be cooking for a football team. And to think you have achi or ofor to supplement. Na wa! To me, the hotleaf (uziza) isn't optional as its scent alone is associated with the oha. 1 Like |

Op for a traditional style of making oha soup, remove that chicken and turkey from the list. Uziza leaf is not optional (i even crushed the seed and add).That amount of cocoyam does not require offor or achi to supplement. And for a better taste of oha soup, go for achi instead of offor. |
