CORNED BEEF MOI MOI COOKED IN LEAVES

Adding corned beef to moi moi takes the taste and status of the moi moi to a different level. Corned beef has that awesome effect on
moi moi that makes it really really fluffy and tasty. 

Dinner is late today. This corned beef moi moi cooked so fast because corned beef needs no extra time to cook. It’s already cooked and canned. Adding eggs will make it too much, so we decided to leave out both raw and boiled eggs this time till another time. There is a corned beef moi moi recipe on the blog already, very delicious too but that was posted when I still cooked with cellophane bags. With the rate at which we are going healthwise, I no longer advise anyone to cook with cellophane bags. If there are no leaves to cook with, stainless steel bowls or ceramic tea mugs can still be used to cook good moi moi.
