Wooow!!! My very best dish. I used to eat this every single day of the week...I miss home. You did a very great job I must confess...my mouth is watering lol

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

Yes, ncha is made by adding potash to palm oil which is what I did in the video. I guess it's the same way you make the ncha in your place, maybe you've never seen them making the ncha? :))) If you don't have potash (akanwu), then making the abacha with only palm oil is the way to go but if you can lay your hands on potash, then use it and you'll see the magical ncha materialise lol Enjoy!

@waakaaboutgyal 11 лет назад

Ogiri is the secret Ingredient to this fabulous meal. it gives the delicacy its unique taste. all I have here is the potash (akawu) , red oil & dry abacha :( the rest I have to wait till I go back home (whenever). so for now, I'll just imagine myself munching the abacha&fish (and licking the plate at the end) in this video. hmmmm! LOL. Thanks for being there :)

@may2584 4 года назад

Thanks auntie Flo for your awesome videos. Abacha remains my all time favorite.. Pls I have a request to make, I want u to teach us how to make port harcourt bole especially the unique sauce used.

@avylove6566 3 месяца назад

Tried this and it came out so yummy and good

@AJCiti 7 лет назад

Next time I go to Nigeria I need to try this

@electralove88 11 лет назад

hmmmm!this is the way forward o!my dear,i didnt know we could make the abacha with any palm oil.am from abia and we use a special oil to make this paste which we call 'ncha'.i will definitely try it out.i have been making mine by melting the oil we find here with the crayfish and pepper before seasoning and mixing.i usually make the ukpaka separate with stockfish and dry fish.thanks so much for sharing.i go try this one today today!

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

Awww! It's great that you want to try this recipe. Abacha is made from boiled cassava tubers that are sliced into strands, soaked overnight then washed and dried in the sun. Ugba/ukpaka is made from oil bean seeds. These are very very very (lol) traditional ingredients and I'll be very surprised if they're sold in African stores outside Nigeria. We usually bring them from Nigeria. I put links to close-up shots of these ingredients in the description of the video. And thank you :)

@chidelovesyou 11 лет назад

God bless u real good, i love all your recipes. i wish i live in spain.,,...lol am in Italy

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

The ingredients for most of the recipes you see on my channel came from Nigeria because they are too traditional for the African shops here to carry them. So your friends probably don't make them because they can't buy the ingredients where you live. Trust me, I have not even scratched the surface on Nigerian foods, there are thousands more :D I'm glad you are enjoying the recipes :)

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

Everything came from Naija. In the city where I live, we can only buy a few African ingredients: palm oil, beans, yams, cocoyams and plantains. These core traditional stuff, I always buy from Naija :)

@Jenn4rmblk 4 года назад

I just want to say thank you so much for sharing these recipes. May God bless your hands abundantly. I just moved out on my own and thanks to your videos I am able to cook and enjoy all the food my mum always cooked for me. There’s no better food than 9ja food😊😊😊

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

O yes! And it is sooo yummy! You sabi better thing o!

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

Thanks dear! I'm glad you are getting some ideas from the videos :) Please don't stop cooking!

@CaramelFynessh 11 лет назад

man the naija people i hang with and use to eat with them in their homes and party .. twww they dont make half of the stuff u do lol am ghanaian and always is pounded yam and egusi .. or eba .. thats it .. thanks for showing me that there is sooo much more

@glendabos 12 лет назад

I love African salad!!!

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

I'm glad you are enjoying them dear. For the potash, if you know any other food ingredient that can make the palm oil curdle, please share with us! Thanks.

@solzica82 12 лет назад

@NigerianFoodRecipes Abacha will be difficult to get also potash, but next time i go to african shop I will look for ingredients, because I want to make this salad for long time. Have a nice weekend!

@maryroseorah1234 5 лет назад

Just teied this...very easy and delicious..thanks for sharing

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

@mardorada Oh you were so lucky to even get it at all from your Mum. Trust me, we only got these from grandma during long vacs. Pure dose of delicious Abacha made with the thick ncha, served with a generous quantity of dry fish and garden eggs, every eke or afor day ... chai!

@joyette08 11 лет назад

I really miss naija ooooh, chai obodo oyibo ah !!!!

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

Tell me something! So baking soda makes the palm oil cuddle? And it's a food tenderizer too? mmh that's music to my ears because I get lots of questions about an alternative to potash! Thanks for sharing. :) O yes, ehu is the one ingredient that gives abacha its traditional taste.

@berthachibesa7418 5 лет назад

Well done sis you are doing a Good job bless you 👌👌👌👍👍💕

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

If you want to make only Ugba, it is the same process, just skip the abacha and add kpomo (cow skin) if you have it. The title of the video says Abacha and Ugba because ugba was added to it.

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

No, reducing the oil will make the abacha too dry for my liking. I eat this meal like once or twice a year so it's ok.

@ei1848 3 года назад

Who's watching in 2021

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

I have a video for Edikang Ikong soup. In the description of that video, I listed all the leaves you need and alternatives.

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

Awww Italy is just next door, one day come say hi to me :)))) God bless you too dearie!

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

It's shredded Cassava (Yuca). The Cassava is boiled, shredded, rinsed and dried under the sun to get abacha (the white thin ones in the video).

@Theonlychioma 7 месяцев назад

Thank youuuuu 🤗

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

Just a little bit longer and you'll have all the Nigerian food you can eat. Keep keeping on dear :)

Chai Nne m ooo, I wu number 1 kara aka! Daalu!

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

@RABthefirst Yea, I went to dig out a traditional music to go with this very traditional Nigerian recipe :) This sort of music plays in the background when we eat this Abacha and wash it down with palm wine lol. And oh, this one will be too farfetched for you to prepare, too traditional even for some Nigerians.

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

@solzica82 I'm sure you'll have more that 5 dear :) If you have abacha, palm oil, potash, stock cubes then you are sorted :) And you'll definitely have pepper, crayfish?, salt (lol) and fish too :)

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

@ericAdaobi Thanks dear. You guys are so lucky over there. Do you have ogiri too? lol

@kelvinunique 2 года назад

I found this very helpful. You got a new subscriber 😊

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

@yemi1akinsola You are welcome :) I know North America as a place where you can find almost every Naija ingredient if you live in the major "Naija cities" of the US. A subscriber that lives in Canada told me they can buy everything including Isi Ewu there so time to start hunting down those ingredients :)

@sylviawillington8469 3 года назад

Aunt Flo please can you do a video on how to make isiewu and nkwobi?

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

Hello 👋 #Flo nice video thanks.i want to ask why did you add ogiri in your abacha?

@thegracetofollow4194 2 года назад

Wow lady ❤️

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

@solzica82 Ahh my wife, Abacha and potash are the main ingredients so if you don't have them, I'm afraid you'll have to wait till they send them to you from Naija :( Unless you can buy them from the African shops where you are.

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

@glendabos Me too!

@Jessica.Joseph 10 лет назад

This is nice

@kaybizzy1 12 лет назад

@solzica82 12 лет назад

@Lovemom4179 3 года назад

Did you fry the fish raw?

@zehrabernacurebal9530 11 лет назад

I like this 2 salad very delicious

@FloChinyere 11 лет назад

Aww ... but you can make the Abacha with what you have at the moment, manage that while you wait for when you'll have all the orishirishi to make the real deal one! :D Unless you are an all-or-nothing kinda person :D

@Juliet.laura1230 5 лет назад

@Flo can a pregnant woman eat ral potach, I rely wanted to make this abacha, just curious.

@jahzarafierce5698 6 лет назад

Looks yummy. Does it work without potash?

@FloChinyere 6 лет назад

Yes, check out this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ODiBrS-9Fok.html

@FloChinyere 12 лет назад

@misdemeanorwerunthis yes o, Palmy is Abacha's partner in crime :)

@osarenomecynthia7366 6 лет назад

please what is ugba?

@Peacebestill27 7 лет назад

Dear flo please can u do a video on the uses of NZU and do you know if it has another name apart from the local one we call it... NZU?

@FloChinyere 7 лет назад

Nzu, the edible clay? I know that some people lick it but it is not advisable. It is also ground into powder and used to treat heat rashes or nappy rashes on babies in those days.

@amakaamah-ugochukwu5795 6 лет назад

Nice one again. Please what is the difference between utazi and okazi?

@FloChinyere 6 лет назад

Amaka utazi is bitter and heartshaped while okazi is just a tough vegetable used in cooking soups. It is the vegetable that is known as Afang in Efik/Ibibio used in preparing Afang Soup.

@whitedaisez 9 лет назад

Please, what brand of palm oil do u use? Also, can you use regular ground nutmeg or must you use the special calabash one?

@FloChinyere 9 лет назад

whitedaisez I currently use AFP (African Food Products) Palm Oil but really the brand does not matter, just make sure it is pure palm oil and not adulterated with other products.No, regular nutmeg is not the same as calabash nutmeg and should not be added to Abacha. If you don't have calabash nutmeg, use black pepper. It's not an alternative but is a traditional ingredient.

@JawaMadiuna 8 лет назад

I hate palm Oli..it caused all animals death! #boycottpalmoil #boycottpalmoilproduct #palmoilthekiller

@waakaaboutgyal 11 лет назад

That is me, all-or-nothing kinda person. it's all good though :)

@folasade85 9 лет назад

Hi, I have the abacha,I was given and I want to make this dish. But please what is this ugbah like. Is it a kind of fish? Can it be replaced? Does the taste of this food changes without it? I live in Sweden and we don't have many African stores here. Thank you for your response

@FloChinyere 9 лет назад

folasade85 ugba is shredded oil beans. You can skip it if you don't have it. It adds some taste to the abacha dish and makes the abacha ensemble "complete" but you can prepare it without it. :)

@folasade85 9 лет назад

Ok Thanks

@MSEDzirasa2015 9 лет назад

Please, what kind of vegetable or food item is this Abacha...does it come shredded? Does it have another name? I mean what is it, because the video does not explain and it seems to be the main ingredient. Please elaborate because I am Ghanaian and have no damn clue.

@Jesuissarafina 9 лет назад

Abacha is dried shredded cassava

@MSEDzirasa2015 9 лет назад

Sarafina Apollos Thank you. I watched another video that called it tapioca which I know is the starchy grits made from cassava juices used in sweet desserts like pudding; I think you gave the best description. Thanks again.

@gloriatangsi1024 10 лет назад

Can you use veg.oil instead and spinach in place of the leaves

@FloChinyere 10 лет назад

Gloria Adejumo yes you can use spinach. You will not get the authentic Abacha with vegetable oil. Only palm oil. :)

@gloriatangsi1024 10 лет назад

Thank u sis.my mum brought a big bag of the abacha she wasn't able to get the leaves and I ran out of palm oil.thanks for the reply

@ebby9234 11 лет назад

i love your videos but am a bit concerned with the use of potash, as it is not healthy at all.

@mohanyewande3899 8 лет назад

can I get already made abacha and d local nutmeg in Africa store

@FloChinyere 8 лет назад

Those 2 ingredients will be hard to find in an African food shop, you can try though. You can make your own Abacha, video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6AVXNR6Lapo.html If you do not have calabash nutmeg, add black pepper. Not the same but yes, use black pepper. Or skip it.
