- Without saying too much, let me say this very simple waakye recipe will make feel like you're eating your favorite roadside waakye. Please look out for the stew recipe.
Ingredients:
2 cups rice
1 lb (2 cups) black eyed peas
3-4 full length sorghum leaves aka waakye leaves or about 7 cut ones
1 teaspoon baking soda /bicarbonate of soda
1 teaspoon salt or to your taste.
7 cups water
I'm Nigerian but I must say that waakye with all the sides; (spaghetti, garri, leaves, plantain, and waakye stew with boiled eggs, and shitto) is hands down my favourite Ghanaian street food. The deliciousness is out of this world. This recipe is 👌👌👌.
Yes my sister. It isn't the same without a bit of everything. Thanks for stopping by. I hope to keep you❤❤
Is that leave not used in making drinks?
I’m American and I agree 100 percent!!
@@njidekachinasa6645 yes 👍 and it's very good for medicinel purposes you can boil it with ginger and honey
Love love love your cooking

I tried this recipe in addition to the stew and it turned out perfectly! It was my first time making waakye and my husband enjoyed it so much. The baking soda trick with the stew really works, I can’t believe I’ve never known of it till I heard you mention it in one of the videos. You’re really changing lives here 😂. Thank you soo much sis.

👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️Question : how long do you soak the beans before cooking them?
Thanks sis for sharing am definitely going to try this for my family and I will give you a feedback,God bless you and your family.
I really love waakye. do the leaves add any flavour or is it just for colour. what would be a substitute for the leaves if i cant find them?
Manka Kariuki the leaves gives flavour but u can use backing soda if you can’t get them.
It give it that colour to.
Love the video and the cooking tips. Your blue pot is very pretty, what brand is it or where did you buy it?
Lovely recipe, how long do you soak the beans for?
Another great hit. But please where are your pots from
I recently discovered your channel subscriptions for the first time,and I'm loving your recipe's.you making Ghana proud.

@@priscillag5734 thank you 🙏🏾
Love this recipe, seems very easy to prepare.
how long did you soak the beans for ? thanks in advance
Just tried this it was soooo good! Thank you too much xoxoxo
I made this and it was delicious
Love the recipe! Was just wondering what baking soda does for the food... Can it be omitted?
Baking soda shortens the cooking time of the beans. It has been known to cause an upset stomach for some. You can absolutely omit it from your cooking.
My favorite Ghanaian dish.My notification bell is now on to see more of your delicious recipes
Awesome! Thanks for doing that sis💕
Can you use baking powder, ?
What is the effect?
I hope it not dangerous?
Hi sis can you do tutorial on the waakye salad
Works great every time! Perfection!!
Thank you
Always thought waakye is a big deal but u made it so easy
Gonna try it at home. love it soft too like u😍
Looks delicious, i love waakye soo much 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋 😋.
How long do you soak the beans to soften it up?
Love this recipe
My darlings do use a clean tea towel or cotton napkin to cover the pot rather than tin foil...its healthier but the waakye looks so delicious, will definitely try it...well done👍😍😘😘
Thanks for that. I will bear that in mind for next time🙏🏾❤
Please where's ur house??? I'm hungry and coming for my share asap 🤗. Thanks for sharing sis. NYAME Nhyira wo 😘
Got Indian girl cooking waakye. Thank You 😊. My came out perfect except rice kept sticking to the pot. What kind of pot are you using here?
I made this Waakye this afternoon. It was delicious. My mum was shocked paaa. She asked whether I bought it in town 😂😂😂. Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us. I'm so happy to have found your chanel. God bless you abundantly. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾. Love from London, UK!
I love you sis. Please tell me how you are able to get the waakye color like that 🙏🏽
I tried this recipe but there’s a weird aftertaste from the baking soda. Anything I can do to remedy this? Thanks
Wow Thanks for sharing dear, please we are looking forward for how to cook Kyenkafa or kwankwa or Ghana Brown rice Jolof.
Don't worry, i got you. I have my rice here. I will make it soon😋😋😋
The type of pot you cook the waakye in makes a big difference. Daadesan pot is the best. Again soak the leaves for at least 6 hours with half the quantity of baking soda. Do not not soak the beans, it loses taste. Watching you I am salivating. Well done.
What sort of rice did you use? Thank you
love it
Can i use regular brown beans instead of the white one? It’s hard to get the white one in the states. Thank you
Yes you can
A minute into the video and I'm sold. New subscriber
And I am very honored to read this. Akwwaba dear❤
@@KwankyewaasKitchen The pleasure is mine 🙏
Can you please share your potatoes casserole link please. Saw it on instagram but not on TH-cam
Please what is the function of baking soda in the beans
What’s the name of that leafy thing?
Wowww...this looks awesome.
Sister, so the sole purpose of sorghum leaves is to add flavour or just colour? Sorghum in our country has green leaves not this kind.
Sis mostly adds colour. These are the dried leaves. They are green when fresh.
@@KwankyewaasKitchen Oh yea I remember now. Sorghum is our staple food in Botswana.
Sweet Jesus now I am homesick lol
Very yummy, thanks dear.
Wow amazing
Do the leaves add flavor or just color? Is there a particular type of rice you use? Thanks.
Shirleen Adams any rice is fine
It add both
sweet lady what pots do you use?
Wooooh thank you now I can finely make this for my family instead of getting my mum to do it
Yes Vera! You are well equipped now! Mummy will be proud😎❤
U are the best my sister
Hi where do you buy your laddles?
Sis, u got yourself a NEW SUBCRIBER!!!
My favorite Ghanaian dish
Please what does the bicarbonate soda do to the food. Thanks for sharing
It dakens the colour. Without it, te waakye color will be more of bright wine
@@KwankyewaasKitchen thank you
Pls did you use all the beans?
And wat happens if you don’t have the soda too
Lovely and yummy
I love making this, I will try your version. Looks delicious. ❤

"Some fried fish and waakye di3, wo boa kraa"!!!😃. On that note, I'm hitting the shops for the leaves cuz I've got everything else in house. I've always thought it was rather intimidating to cook this stuff but 'Imma gon' try like hell! (In my best Texan accent)😜
