Love it; thanks Sisiyemmie. Cutting the leaves with a knife destroys the cell walls of the leaves releasing enzymes (polyphenols) that are responsible for the discoloration (brownish color change) we see when such leaves are cut with a knife. This causes an enzymatic oxidation just like you’d see with an apple left open to room air making the leaves brown and mushy. Hence why it’s better to hand pluck. Our mother’s may not have known science but their kitchens sure were science projects. But leave all that science jare, that soup looks delish. Lol.
I know of three reasons why we tear Oha leaf in igbo land. The first is because it's a very delicate leaf especially when it's fresh and you don't want it to shrink or darken when it wilts in the hot soup. You don't even cook it for too long since it's not tough like ukazi and other leaves. Secondly Oha soups are typically lighter than other soups so the broadly torn Oha leaf helps you scoop, soak up and retain the soup broth when you're eating it. And finally, Oha soup is actually a delicacy. The leaves are not always available in fact Oha has it's season and the leaves must be quickly harvested while they're still tender, if the mature you can't use it (i remember climbing our Oha tree to pluck off the young leaves), so when folks cook Oha, they want people to see the "freshness" of the leaf in the soup. Igbo people, did I get it right or miss something? Igbo Kwenu!!
Now my 4 years old wants to watch sisi yemmie on her own computer, her love for your channel is something else o! always saying Tiaras mum is cooking again? we love you sisi Yemmie.
I can finally say my comment was the first . Thanks sis for giving us this tips . I love your videos . She has a very nice voice, I watch her videos not just to learn but to also hear her voice. Lol
Sisi Yemi, I followed your step by step approach and I made my Oha soup today, when I got to the market the igbo woman I bought uziza seed and ogiri igbo from she was like the aroma of this your soup go be super oooo.. Thank you and thank you.
You are a true representative of a one Nigeria. You really gave this meal preparation the best touch history can ever record. Keep the ball rolling sisi Yemie, you will always be my number one.
Sisi you don't know the way I've been waiting for this recipe with all my body, m a cameroonian but you see this soup ehh it can make me travel to your place to have a taste of it
This Oha soup is divine.😋But come to think of it Sisi yemmie! the ingredients and your methods at which you pre and prepare other delicacies is so mind blowing,Your cooking abilities is amazing no debating on that,But then again I admire your taste for other cuisines,to the extent you have rubbed it off on your family,Awesome 😍🥰.
Sisi Yemisi, please is there a way to extract the aroma for people like me that salivate while watching? 😁 You've taught me a whole lot, and as a guy my cooking skill is improving. Thanks to you
I wish I am living in your house sisi yemmie...so I can have a taste of these exquisite recipes prepared by you. Your cooking skills is exceptional and top notch
I’m so glad I found you! You make this so interesting. I’m Ghanaian but I’m marrying an Igbo man o 😂😂😂. I love Nigerian cuisine so I’m going to learn how to cook this. Looks very easy, just need the right ingredients. Love it! You have a new fan ❤👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Loved you from d day I discovered u on the streets of RUclips! Looking for any Nigerian food or soup recipe? No need to look further cos trust Sisi Yemmie to present it in the most authentic manner possible, you’ll forget her tribe! We’ll done sis. Finally going to try this thanks to you!❤😊
Wow looks super yummy 🥰🥰. As a ghen ghen Anambra babe, I'll tell you for free that there's absolutely no harm with using a knife to slice your oha as long as you slice them only when you're ready for it to go straight into your pot immediately (this also applies to your uziza leaves else they'll darken and their flavours will begin to evaporate away) in huge chunks and as fast as possible. Also it's strange to me seeing onions in the same pot with a dish made with ogiri igbo. I've never seen onions in any dish made with ogiri Igbo. I wonder how it tasted.🤔 This looks super yummy though. Well done Sisi.💗
Sisi I like that you went there, actually processing the oil instead of just using red oil. Most ‘ede ‘soup its sweeter this way. My mum advises you prep Ora leaf a day before using it. I really don’t know why o. Local soups n their methods. 😅 Ogiri Igbo in that container thingy annoys me(Lagos n packaging)... Ogiri idemili 🙌🏽🙌🏽..
Sisi, the story behind using our hand is that when you use a knife the oha vegetable tends to turn dark. So it's torn with the hands to prevent that. I've never tried to prove or disprove the theory though. Also, can I use canned banga paste as opposed to doing it from scratch? The soup looks amazing and yummy.
Omgoodness this oha soup get grade, please I need that oha leaf 😁🤩, very detailed recipe and looks so inviting and mouthwatering, deliciously yummy gorgeous SisiYemmie
Welldone Ma'am As for me,In my family we use knife to cut d oha it into two n it tastes very yummy.. My mum said what makes it bitter is plucking d head of oha so wen we pluck it,we make sure it's just d leaf. Thank You.
I think this recipe could’ve probably done without the onions (we tend not to add them to the most traditional soups, especially where ogiri’s present) but otherwise this video’s amazing. Loved it.
This really looks yummmyyyyyyyyy!!! Well done, Sisi Yemmie! Sisi, you mentioned that instead of using banga seeds, we can use palm oil. Please tell us how.
