Please How Long Does It Take To Cook Ukwa? by lovediehatelive(m): 6:33pm On Jan 29, 2023 |
So yesterday I bought freshly peeled ukwa from a woman in the market. I've missed it so much, so I decided to prepare it. However, things didn't go as planned. My plan was to perboil it for like five minutes, then cook with some ingredients, just like jollof rice. I've been boiling it since, over 1 hour now, it's yet to become soft. If I take small and chew, it's still strong. I don't want to waste it, please how long will it take to done? |

lovediehatelive:Unfortunately, ukwa (breadfruit) takes a fairly long time to cook. You just have to be patient until it's soft. If you add the other ingredients before it's completely soft, it will remain hard and be ruined. Next time, consider adding a little potash to act as a softener. |

chival: Thanks. So I have to add potash. Hope it doesn't have side effects. And how long will it take to get done with potash |

you either add potash to it or something called '' ngo' in igbo language. it makes it cook faster and no side effect |

mannasseh: Should've known better! I thought you just cook it like rice 🙆🏾♂️ |

lovediehatelive:No side effects that I am aware of. However, use moderately. It will cut cooking time in half. Unfortunately, I can't really give a time frame. |

chival: Thanks. I'll try again next time. How I wish I can just burst into any restaurant and order for ukwa like rice and beans and swallow. Are there any special places I can get the cooked ones |

lovediehatelive:You are welcome. Unfortunately, I rarely eat out so I wouldn't know. |
