Ugocommented over 3 years agoyou didnt mention on how to prepare the afang leaves before cooking?

Ritycommented over 3 years agoCant d afang leaf be blended instead of pounding?

Chubbycommented about 3 years agoThe Afang leaves are usually washed, left to dry and then cut into tiny shreads. it is then pounded or ground before it's used for the soup. Some tribes cook it shredded and people who cannot pound it or grind it, blend it with little water but you have to be careful so you don't turn it to a smooth paste. Pounding is the best option though

Darmicommented about 2 years agoI made afang soup by using cameroun pepper,it was awesome. It gave a flavour that was so lovely,an aroma that wud make u ask for more. I suggest tryin cameroun pepper in place of chili pepper.

Tuksycommented 10 months agoCameroon pepper are generally nice in soups but u must be careful as to d quantity used if not U'll ve your nose running even before Ur soup is cooked. Afang can also be used in egusi soup as it is cooked by the Ikwerres in Rivers State. They call it Okazi soup and it's also very nice & taste differently from afang soup.
