HOW TO COOK MOI MOI WITH NYLON |PARTY MOI MOI RECIPE
Transcription
Preparation
Moi-moi is made of soaked beans ground into a fine paste which is mixed with dried crayfish, vegetable oil, and seasonings. Some add sardines, corned beef, sliced boiled eggs, or other garnishes.[7]
Moin-moin usually comes in a slanted pyramid shape, cylindrical shape, cone shape or other shape[8] of the mold it is poured into prior to cooking. The pyramid shape comes from the traditional broad Ewe Eran(Thaumatococcus daniellii),[9] or banana leaves[10] fashioned into a cone in one's palm. Then the seasoned and garnished liquid is poured into the leaves, which are folded. The cylindrical shapes come from when empty cans are used.[11]
Moin-moin is eaten alone as a snack or with rice as a meal or with ogi, koko or garri.[12]
