Aunty Flo !!! I am commenting in 2021. I haven’t even watched but when I was typing Egusi akuruakpu in the search I was almost hopeless then I figured if YOU don’t have it then I am done for. God bless you and your generation. Oya make I go watch the video with my note pad.
I crossed 7 jungles and 7 seas to get the ingredients for this very traditional Nigerian soup. Ladies and Gentlemen, Ofe Achara with Akpuruakpu Egusi is served. Enjoy!
I doubted I was going to see this soup recipe online ... I’m from Ubakala Umuahia , and my grandma used to make this soup ... I would sit around the kitchen from start to finish ... 🤣😂🤣😂🤣... my absolute favorite... thanks 🙏🏽 so much for making this well packaged video tutorial
Please do you guys cook the achara seperately before adding to the main soup?
My Ubakala family. Hope you're good
I made your Nigerian fried rice with some kosher beef in stew for 200 people for Bernie Sanders volunteers in Iowa. everyone loved it!!
+Joy Popoola 200 people? You are very strong! Well done for doing a great job of those two. :)xxx
You remind me of my grandma with this akpurakpu eqwusi soup with achara. This is my home town soup! Welldone Flo...
OMG this is the wrong video to watch👀 at 8AM Oh Im so hungry now.....L👀ks delicious👍👌
Hi ma. I love watching your video. Am from imo state but my mum from Abia and she cooks Acharya soup so often. I want to remind you of Achi or Ofer. She never prepared achara soup without adding a little of Achi or ofor. Its the main thickener for achara soup. And uziza leave is always added. Thanks
God bless you for this. I am from Umuahia so watching this video made me feel so good and reminded me of how my beloved mum (late now) used to make her ofe achara. But she used to pound the egusi and osu. Then no cray fish and ogiri in the akpuruakpu egusi. All the same, well done ma.
I like how you cook so easily,I have eaten Ofe Achara once and it was made by a good friend of mine, seeing this video makes me know I can prepare it myself. thanks
Thanks momma, am making the soup now with the help of your video
I love watching your cooking.
You make everything very explicit.
I ate this soup when I was a teenager and now longs to cook it.
Thanks anyway
This is my local soup, ofe achara for umuahia ppl/ can i use goat meat oe what is the best protein tio use in the soup
Same here oo
Very well done. Thank you for sharing.
Very good instructions!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
wow..great work..cant wait to try it
This is the first time am seeing how to use achara to cook, I love lumpy egwusi. Agalaoti. Yummy
I am sooooooooo happy to finally see this video. Thank you so much ma.
Confirm soup, make sense and beautiful and same time delicious hmmmmm😋🥰
please what can I replace osu with....any subtitute? ?? choi....am from isuikwuato so I feel this soup.
Sis you gave me an idea here with this recipe, asparagus can go with the eqwusi? I like being creative especially in foods😂I will try this; good means of getting in vegs.
I've eaten it only once, and I enjoyed it very much because it was cooked by an expert cook. But it's not common like other soups. Maybe I have to travel to Umuahia to get good ones from a nice restaurant.
I can recommend somewhere for u
looks delicious!
I love dis soup so much
Achara or Elephant Grass (Pennisetum purpureum) may possibly be found in an African market. If not, seeds are available via Amazon and Ebay for those interested in growing their own. It is a very fast growing plant that can be harvested several times in a season, and can become as tall as bamboo.
Please do know what úsú is called in English
@@chukwusam4625 "Osu" in this recipe is a powder made from dried mushroom that is used to thicken soups. "Usu" I know as a South African word for ox or beef tripe.
The úsú am talking about is still a type of mushroom. Commonly found in the southern part of Nigeria. The full name is.. ero úsú in my Igbo dialect. We use it as well in making egusi soup and egusi local cake. When freshly harvested, it's like a rough shaped ball. It's then washed, peeled and dried. Turned into a powder when you want to use in for cooking.... I remember my late mum doing all ( may her soul rest in peace).
@@chukwusam4625 Yes, the scientific name of the úsú mushroom is Pleurotus tuber-regium. In English, it is called the king tuber mushroom.
@@tubad4ya66 thank you so much.
Chaiii bn looking for easiest way to mold egusi n here it is😘😍😍 Tnks for ds video
Sis..you killed it especially the Achaea.
wow this is sweet I love it
Hey Flo!
Please is there any substitute for osu please🙏
Thank you very much
Please you supposed to put achi or ukpotoro or ofor not only egusi.
ADAJISUS praise she put orsu
She already added usu
welcome to Nigeria
I mean Achara..
great job!
yummy
Does elephant grass taste anything like bamboo? could bamboo shoots be a reasonable substitute? easy to get in Asia, or in Asian markets in America and so on. Thx.
OMG!!!! Onye nkem, Where in the world did you find Achara?
+Chichichikito nne eh? Don't ask o. LOL I got them from Naija. The good thing is that the outer coarse covering protect the tender shoots so they can make it from Naija to anywhere in the world and still be fresh. :)
Hello Flo
Can osu serve as thickener?like ede and achi
Adanne. I gbaliala. What is Ogiri made from. I ve never had it.
Can I mold the egusi without osu?
i think there is no way to get all of that here in germany/bavaria
but im fine with egusi and okrasoup ^^
+Anthony Jay yea the very traditional ingredients, you have to get from Nigeria. That's what I do because I can't buy them here in Spain either. :)
Anthony Jay ok
I so much like ur cooking but I don't know how to follow up because of the ingredients because I can't them all in UAE
pls!! where can I find the achara leaf in boston Massachusetts
well don pls i need ur cooking book and how can i get it
Chai you really tried.
Every thing you used was perfect except okiri okpi and akpuruakpu egusi must be cooked more than 10mins at least 1hr to make sure is probably done. In the whole umuahia traditional delicacies we don't use ogiri to cook anything. And we don't put crayfish inside mgbam or egusi akpuruakpu. Thank you.
ADAJISUS praise Nwanne nkem😀👏
You are absolutely correct! Ogiri is not part of our menu from UMUAHIA. And the procedure is wrong also, like see the way the oil was added and looking when she added the other ingredients. Our egusi is pressed and the it's oil will come out and we also use fresh pepper and onions and salt to mould it. Am not sure you are from UMUAHIA

Nwannem u said d truth joor. Umuahia sis we dey here
Please can we get the correct procedure. I grew up in Umuahia. I have eaten this during iri ji and I want to learn
What is Mgbam?
What substitute can be used if you do not have "egusi binder"?
+sophie igbinoba I don't know of any dear. I know some people pound the egusi dough in a mortar before making the balls to help hold it together more. You can try doing that. Just make sure the water is boiling very well before throwing the balls into it. The high heat will shock the balls and they will not disintegrate .. hopefully. :)
+All Nigerian Recipes thank you.. Nice video 😀
Achara from nigeria now
What is ÓSÚ please?
Ọsụ is that ingredient I showed in the video. I do not know any other name for it. When you go to Nigerian markets just tell them you need ọsụ for cooking egusi soup.
pls can u try this recipe using asparagus pls, cause I'm in a country I can't get achara
Yes use Asparagus to cook it. Once you like Asparagus as a vegetable, it is an ok alternative.
I can't find elephant grass here
7 jungles and 7 seas indeed. Slowly becoming extinct.
You're too much abeg...
Good try not real recipe for achara soup and not the way to prepare it.
