Did you know that Ewedu is not native only to Nigeria? I found out that in Egypt they have something similar and they call it “Molokheya” and the Jews call it “Mallow Soup”. It was really fascinating to me when I looked up the recipes. Many of them cook it with broth and spices which looked absolutely yummy 😋, definitely worth a try.

However this video shows the simple straight forward Nigerian 🇳🇬 method on how to make Ewedu Soup.

A Few Tips:

1. Allow the leaves to boil first before adding seasoning to maintain its viscosity (some people even go a step further by blending before adding any form of seasoning for the same reason)

2. Do not overcook to maintain its viscosity

3. Use as little Kaun (potash) as possible. You can substitute Kaun for a pinch or two of baking soda

4. Finally if you’re adding crayfish and Iru use little or no salt because you’ll get some saltiness from these local seasoning.
