Steamed bean pudding
You people sound so stup.id. No wonder white folks look at you and feel superior. Steamed bean pudding my fcking asss. If an English man wakes up today and for some strange reason, decides to make a "steamed bean pudding", do you actually think it will taste anything like moi moi?

Idiot slaves.

Again you are wrong. What you consider in cooking are the ingredients and the ways these ingredients can be applied to arrive at the same meal.

Bean pudding or moi moi can be baked as against steaming it and you will still arrive at the same end product but with a twist.
we are talking about the traditional african way of preparing moi-moi. Africans have always steamed moi-moi. It was in a bid to apply variations that baking was introduced. My late grandmum would have laughed it off as a joke if she had seen any of her offsprings BAKING moi-moi!!! It is purely unafrican/untraditional!!!

Stop talking rubbish. There is no dish known as "beans ball" or "beans cake". It's a figment of your imagination, and if you went to England and mentioned those names, all you'll get is a blank stare, and possibly a suggestion or two that you see a doctor. In fact, due to their long exposure to Nigerians/Africans, the average English person will know what you mean when you say "moi moi", long before he understands what you mean by "beans cake" or "beans ball", or "bean pudding".

Thats why in cooking d focus is always on the ingredients and not the end product. Those ingredients can be applied in different ways a d you arrive at same result. In this part of the world we always say "this is how I was taught" or "this is what we are used to" just because u were taught that way doesnt make it the only way. There are some cultures where u do not even steam the moi moi but you deep fry it in a container wrapped in foil paper. Its all about the process and ingredients and not particularly about the taste. Some add fish or eggs or even biscuit bone to their moi moi but it does not change the look but the taste.. its still moi moi

[size=18pt]This is what we keep saying. What is wrong with moinmoin and why do we have to find English name for it ? Did Japanese find English name for sushi ? Did Chinese find English name for Chow Mein ? Did Indian find name for Biriyani ? Please let oyinbo people get used to our own names instead of trying to massage them, Mschew[/size]

Bean cake is the same as bean ball, and that's Akara. Moi moi is bean pudding or steamed bean pudding.
