OFE AKWU: The Nigerian STEW that Tastes Better than Tomato Stew | Flo Chinyere


If you taste this stew eh? You’ll sell your tomatoes and buy palm fruits with the money!
This is my favourite Nigerian stew, you all know I have very traditional tastebuds! Yummy!

  1. Frequently Asked Questions about this Ofe Akwu:

    1. What can I use as alternative ingredients outside Nigeria? Watch this video: https://youtu.be/Wkp2YV4Gyh0

    2. What if I don't have ogiri okpei? Ogiri okpei is actually made from Yoruba iru (locust beans). This is different from Ogiri Igbo: https://youtu.be/Y1jnSa5Xz1Y So use Yoruba Iru (very fermented ones) if you have it.

    3. Where did I get the fresh scent leaves and palm fruits from? I spent Christmas in Nigeria and brought them back with me. Watch my Christmas vlogs: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuj-BP3hVVeTptdCmpEzqC4siW1Ed3mej I recorded this video as soon as I came back in January.

    4. Does scent leaf have another name? Why can't I find it in my local supermarket? These leaves are known as Scent Leaves (Nchuanwu in Igbo, Efirin in Yoruba), indigenous to Nigeria (not sure about other West African countries) so you will not find it in your local supermarket in western countries. You may find it in a farmers' market if a Nigerian grows it in his/her back garden and decides to sell them.
