See how to make moi moi in disposable drinking cups. On this blog, we have recipes for moi moi wrapped in leaves, cooked in bags but not this. I saw this recipe on Myne Whitman’s blog and promised her that when I try it, she’ll know. Fortunately, it turned out great. It was truly tasty and soft. When I saw this moi moi that
day, I just remembered my cups wasting at home.
NB: Always remember that making moi moi in leaves and ceramics is the best option health wise.
Ingredients for moi moi in disposable cups:
2 Cups brown beans with skin
1 large smoked cat fish
5 large tatashe
2 small red pepper
1 large onion
1 small can Gino tomato paste
Salt
Seasoning cubes
Soya oil
water
| Fry blended ingredients in hot oil |
| Add Ingredients to ground beans, check for salt and seasoning, add more if needed |
|
|
| Pouring moi moi in cups, I had to cook twice cos the pot couldn’t take all.
This quantity produced about 20 cups of moi moi. Pour boiling water in the pot before turning on the heat. Water should be at finger length so that moi moi doesn’t tumble when it starts boiling. Check the pot frequently. This moi moi cooked in 45 minutes. |
nice!
Nice one! Never even thought of plastic cups. I use the aluminium bowls with covers and was thinking of switching to the leaves.
Nice one though, looks really yummy
wow…nice! Always love the easy way. But I heard and read that nylon is not good, is this one better?
Nice one. Definitely easier than using leaves(tho the taste is incomparable) but then I wonder if this is same as using plastic since they discourage from its use coz of chemicals.
Does d cups hv covers?
@Ahdaisy and Debbie: Abi? Aunt Rubynnia must not catch us using nylon/plastics o. She has really being advising against it and I feel awkward whenever I eat moi moi that was made in nylon.
@Myne: Lovely!

Welldone Aunty!

Tanks!
Wao see another technology invented by one nd only aunty eya. Looks yummy. Aunty Eya well done. This moi moi get ready for me on Saturday. Lol.
Plastic cups……Great idea,looks amazing.
Bonario,you comment always like a wise old man.I like you!
Nice one Aunty Eya,buh how about the nylon and chemical thingy?
Ahdaisy,
Nylon, disposable cups and plastics all belong to the same family(same chemical components).

I will ALWAYS prefer using leaves anyday, anytime!
I didn't know how to wrap with leaves too till momsy forced me. Thank GOD, I'm very proficient at it now.
Apart from health issues, I've tried using nylons and the moin moin doesn't come out well; one side is cooked, another is messy and the remaining part cooked but with leaves, all is perfecto!
You this JaY ehn!
Infact when I saw the topic, I said to myself "plastic again?"
#Team Leaves#
Dear Aunty Joy,
It wasn't aunty Eya that invented this technology oh; she saw it on Myne Whitman's blog and gave it a try.
Eya, your moi moi turned out excellent!
For those who can find leaves, it's definitely more natural. Plastic conetainers work for me better than the aluminium foil which I used before – the cups you can either dispose of after use, or wash and use again. Here's a link to my moi moi in a cup;

No covers
Oh. Myne nd aunty Eya well done; you guys rocks.

Nice one Anty Eya n Myne, even if I say I will try it, I will be lying to myself! Bcos I hate washing beans kia its can take me up to 2hours washing and removing d skin! Wheeep
*it can
did you take off the skin on the bean?
@deborah: Hey! You're making me blush for Africa oh. I do? I don't really write much there sha compared to here. I Just share whatever I feel like when I'm in the spirit. Its http://eyerenezz.wordpress.com/
I hope you'll find it interesting over there 🙂
But don't u drink with disposable cups?
No I didn't cos it's brown beans.
Deborah, I cooked this with the skin. It's brown beans naa.
Thanks Myne
Thanks Creamberry but I think this cups are sturdier (Stronger) than nylon bag.
Thank you Warm Hearts
Thanks Joy!
Thank you Chicadimples, the cups weren't covered but the pot was.
Amen o.
Thank you Lucinda, you are welcome.
Aunty Jay, Ruby and everyone, these cups are not pete pete like nylon bags, they are sturdy.
I love leaves too but when they are not available I think these cups are far better than nylon bread bags.
I won't use nylon bags now but I think I can manage these drinking cups o.
Ehen!!!!
@Ruby, what about Foil? Is it OK?
Thanks MrsB
Thanks
@Mrs FT, sometimes if I'm served with it outdoors but not at home. We don't even have them at home.
@Aunty Eya, foil? Isn't it made from aluminium? My hand no dey oh; I'm always on the side of caution.
#Team Leaves#
I think foil is ok ooh, i cant seem to get a proper logic 4 it sha, maybe cos i av been using foil since!!! ehm like Rubynnia said, those plastic cups me no trust them ooh
Thanks Aunty Eya for this dinner recipe. And Myne also.
Pls hope when I don't remove the brown skin, it has no effect on the taste or tummy rumbling?
@mrs FT why nylon, plastic etc is not good is because it is boiled with hot water for a long time. It hs even been said it not good to drink very hot tea in plastic cups. The water you drink with disposble cups is not hot water so that's. Ok
Eya try and draw her attention to this.
No LNC, I use brown beans with the skin for both akara and moi moi and there is no difference.
Thank you for honouring my request and giving specifics on the amount of peeper used here (Even though you still haven't given the details in the post i requested :))
Anon12;03, what post pls?
My time saver for peeling beans. Soak as usual for about 20 minutes and put about a cup and a half in the blender at a time. Cover with at least 3 cups of water. Whiz in the blender or pulse for a minute or until you see the skins separate from the white. Voila. Takes me less than !0 mins so I can actually make akara and moinmoin in the morning before work.

aunty Eya wont d cup melt?
Hi, please what sixe of cup did you use to measure the beans? Is it the disposable cup size?
No, I measured with the 7cm cup used by some grain sellers.
No, it won't, for as long as there is water in the pot.
Hi Cyndy Candy the Chief Chef, thank you. You can send pics to cuulme@gmail.com and I will post to the blog.
Wow, thanks for the tip. Peeling is the reason I now cook with only brown beans so I don't get to spends time peeling.
Thanks Yosola.
This looks very yummy Aunty! Did you blend the beans with any pepper.
