    I'm Nigerian but I must say that waakye with all the sides; (spaghetti, garri, leaves, plantain, and waakye stew with boiled eggs, and shitto) is hands down my favourite Ghanaian street food. The deliciousness is out of this world. This recipe is 👌👌👌.

    I tried this recipe in addition to the stew and it turned out perfectly! It was my first time making waakye and my husband enjoyed it so much. The baking soda trick with the stew really works, I can’t believe I’ve never known of it till I heard you mention it in one of the videos. You’re really changing lives here 😂. Thank you soo much sis.

  • @user-de7rm4bl9i
    @user-de7rm4bl9i Год назад +1

    The type of pot you cook the waakye in makes a big difference. Daadesan pot is the best. Again soak the leaves for at least 6 hours with half the quantity of baking soda. Do not not soak the beans, it loses taste. Watching you I am salivating. Well done.
