To cook ekpang with yam. We use Nigerian ekpang nkwukwor recipe. The only difference is that when yam is used, we add raw eggs to the grated yam and mix before wrapping in leaves to cook.
For ikokore, you just cut and drop in the boiling water without wrapping. Cocoyam leaves, green amaranth or ugu leaves can be used. For this, I wrapped with scent leaves.
Aunty Eya, God bless u plentifully! Is there a day I don't learn something here? Sometimes I so crave ekpang but ignore the craving cos of lack of wateryam. I'll surely try this. *dancing Azonto* I hope the Yam wonth scratch when grating and wraping?
Thanks T, it ddnt scratch us
This is just yam porridge with a fancy name.
LOl Aunty Eya was just about to ask what chocolate was doing among ingredients ohhh before i saw except one..Nice work ma'am
