Ofe Nsal-White soup- Recipe by Amaechina Chiamaka Ozioma



Ofe Nsala (White soup) is a native soup of the Igbos, from the Eastern part of Nigeria, Ofe Nsala offer a break from palm oil and very rich in essential nutrients needed for our body. Ofe Nsala and Pounded Yam is a nice combo for lunch or dinner. For those who love peppery meals like me try this wonderful dish.


Ingredients           

8 pieces Chicken   
1 medium size smoked fish
Ground dried pepper ( Cameroon type for a better taste)           
Ground Crayfish (2 tablespoon)              Ground Uziza seeds (1 teaspoon)         
2 pieces crushed Uda                             Few slices of uziza leaves                        1-2 tablespoon of yam flour or 3 pieces of yam
(to be cooked and then pounded for thickening the soup)
Water                     
Maggi ( to taste)   
Salt ( to taste)

Procedures             

1. Wash, season and steam chicken with pepper, salt and maggi.           

2. Add pieces of yam when the chicken is getting soft, take out when cooked and pound for thickening the soup.                 
     
3. After the yam has been pounded and the chicken is almost cooked, wash fish and add to the pot with spices ( ground uziza seeds and crushed uda) and crayfish.         

4. Add more water to the pot and check seasoning at this point.                   
 
5. Add the pounded yam and cook till the soul is thickened as desired. If you are using yam flour, dissolve it first in cold water to form a paste before pouring into the soup water.     

6. Stir well to prevent the pounded yam or the paste from forming a big lump in the pot. 

7. Lastly add the sliced Uziza leaves. Cook for 2-3 minutes and soup is ready.       

8. Serve with pounded yam or any other swallow of your choice.           
 
 Bon Appetit!!!

MY NYSC STORY I have realized that NYSC was no scam for me. The experience was awesome and I was able to achieve so much. I built capacity, and got ready for the outside world. My name is Victor Agu, a former Kwara corper (2018 batch C1) and I have the following experiences to share. As I write, quick memories of how I admired serving as a kid continue to flood my mind.

OK, let’s go on a journey: As a very near first class Economics graduate{4.40/5.00} from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state; I left school heavily wounded and dented, as I got kicked out of a first class in only my last semester on campus. The why and how is a story for another day. But then, I also left school back to Lagos with much zest, fire, a reason to live out my dreams and to stay at the top of my game. I quickly applied around, attended a couple of interviews and worked a little on arriving Lagos.
