HOW TO COOK NIGERIAN SOUPS WITHOUT SEASONING CUBE - Gimbiya - 01-30-2019 Cook delicious soup without seasoning cubes. Good tasting! All Nigerian soups can be cooked without seasoning cubes., I just found out oh! I am one person that always argued in the past that Nigerian soups need seasoning cubes for a balanced taste… Not that seasoning cubes are bad. They are not. Contrary to what most people believe, The MSG in seasoning cubes is not hazardous to human health in any way. Chinese meals are cooked with MSG… How many Chinese women have seen lying down with cancer? Let’s hear you… If anyone thinks that MSg is bad and still cooks with seasoning cubes, then know that you are eating MSG daily and yet still alive and healthy. The reason I cooked this Ogbono soup without seasoning cubes is not because I want to stop using seasoning cubes, NO. It’s because after tasting the stock, I realised there was no need for any seasoning cubes. The dried stockfish head, meat and crayfish made the difference. Stockfish heads are tasty and really salty. That combined with seasoned beef and ground crayfish perfectly replaced seasoning cubes and gave me. a delicious pot of ogbono soup. The soup is long finished and I am the only one that knows there was no seasoning cube in there. There is no need for fermented locust beans (dadawa),iru, okpe or ogiri. No need for any local seasoning or standard Nigerian stock cubes that we add to cooking. What I’m seriously thinking of doing now is use these ingredients in Nigerian tomato stew without seasoning cubes, and see if it works. Seasoning cubes may not be quite ok if you add too much o cooking. Add them in moderation and you are good to go after all, too much of everything is bad, including bouillon cubes (Seasoning cubes). I love the enhanced taste that seasoning cubes give to our Nigerian soups and now very excited that I can enjoy that taste by just adding enough quantities of crayfish, stockfish head and steamed beef to my soups. FOR THIS OGBONO SOUP COOKED WITHOUT SEASONING STOCK CUBES I used 1 kg meat 1/2 cup ground crayfish 1 medium sized dried stockfish head 1/2 cup chopped okra 1/2 cup ground ogbono 1/2 cup chopped ugu leaves (Fluted pumpkin) 1/4 cup palm oil Kpomo (Cow skin) Salt to taste 1 small onion to boil the beef Ground Pepper (Scotch bonnets) They are my fav. The pepper I use most aside green bell peppers DIRECTION:
Finally, I still maintain that seasoning cubes are not poisonous but we can still cook delicious meals without them. Can people just stop all that campaign against seasoning/stock cubes and instead advise people to cook with less. The Monosodium Glutamate (msg) in seasoning cubes is not poisonous neither does it make people fall sick. That’s what most Chinese restaurants cook with and they are among the healthiest people on planet earth abi na lie? Enjoy your delicious soup with some fiber filled hot eba! |
