- Hi guys! In this episode you will watch me whipping up some Ekwang. Ekwang is a Cameroonian delicacy mostly eaten by those in the South West region of the country but enjoyed throughout the country. It is very similar to the Nigerian Ekpang Nkukwo.
It is made up of grated cocoyams wrapped in cocoyam leaves then simmered with seasonings. Finger-licking good!
Check out the full written recipe here: www.preciouscore.com/how-to-ma...
Hi Precious, thank you so much. I am Nigerian and my maternal grandmother is Calabar so I had a Hodge podge of meals growing up. This dish is also done by the Calabar people and they call it Epkang. Same with your Eru dish that they call Afang soup. This particular dish holds a special place in my heart, cos my Mum weaned me on this. She said I would not eat baby food like a normal kid😂. Every year before I moved to the UK on my birthday she would make this dish just for me. Thank you so much, I really will try this it brings back such good memories. I really love your videos please keep it coming.
Erefuro Stella Amaso-Nedderman aww your comment warms my heart! The people of Calabar are basically the same people as the Manyu people of Cameroon. Reason why some of our meals are so similar. Even our culture. Glad to know that you were weaned on Ekpang! Hahaha glad to bring back memories for you, dear. Enjoy!
Erefuro Stella Amaso-Nedderman ha idemfo my sister. Efik blood is strong here ooo.
Precious Kitchen my mom is also efik from calabar. I grew up on this too. We call banga soup in efik abak soup.
George Okiyih I dey my brodder. 😁
You are the best my man is from Cameroon and I’m from Angola and I have been following ur channel and your steps he loves it and wonders how I’m learning 😍😍😍😍😍 thank you continue your work please
This looks really amazing, was salivating the whole time. Just to add, i find that adding your spices later on gives the food a better taste and flavour. Especially the crayfish cuz putting it so early kills the flavour. So next time if u wish, u could try putting in the ginger and garlic about 15 mins b4 the food gets done and crayfish about 5 mins b4 the food gets done. I think ull love it❤️
Precious, I made this dish......Lordy! Lordy! Lordy!!! It was gooooood. I did it with greens which is what we call Collard greens here in the UK. Made a right pigs ear of the wrapping but I didn't care.....errr!! I was also a little heavy handed with the water. BUT it all tasted AMAZING!!! I made a big pot ate some and froze the rest for cold days when summer seems like a pleasant dream you once had 😂😂😂. My Mum has passed on many years now, but this brought her and home so much closer. Thank you. Stella
Erefuro Stella Amaso-Nedderman this makes me so happy. Glad you bring back memories for you, dear. Thanks so much for the feedback!
Bonjour Precious,
J'ai grandi à Buea, et j'adore tes recettes !
Koki corn, ekwang avec le sweet Ndole leaf. Hum ! Tout ce que j'aime.
Les saveurs de mon enfance me reviennent tout d'un coup !
Je suis une Bakweri girl de coeur !❤❤❤
Merci pour tout !
I cooked mine and since I could not afford the cocoyam leaves for wrapping, I used a variety of fresh vegetables like spinach, greens, lettuce and some vegetables like imported from India to the UAE. It came out so well and delicious and with the rondelles aroma coming out powerfully it blew off the noses of my neighbours 😂😂. Thanks, Madam Precious.
Wow, so yummy...chai Precious Kitchen u know how to cook ya. I am salivating without it been cooked even😂😂😂
Yummy , I am craving traditional dishes these days. I'll have to try this. Grandma used to make this backhome. Good days rest her soul
That looks so so good! It’s been a minute since you have had it! Man, now I️ want to eat it!
U did it again oh. wowww,thanks hon for granting my wish. I appreciate,looks delicious as usual.
You're most welcome my dear.
This is marvelous😯 thanks so much. Now I can cook my man's best meal😊💖💖
Had this for Christmas one of my favourite Cameroonian dishes
It is sooooo amazing how similar ALL our foods are. The ibibio’s and efik’s in Nigeria call it EKPANG NKWUKWO, ( food of the gods) the ijebu’s also in Nigeria, call it ikokore but it’s without the greens. This is so interesting. Great job!
Tolzie O thank you! Yes we are soooo similar. Some tribes in Cross River are actually the same as some tribes in Cameroon. Glad to know the meaning of Ekpang Nkukwo. In Cameroon some people call it Ekpang of Ekpang Coco. Lol. We are one, dear.
Precious Kitchen ..... I just sent the link to my daughter who is also a foodie like me 😂 lol! She called soooo excited. She says she’s going to to attempt it ASAP. 😂 great job again my dear. 👌🏽
That is one of the best foods I’ve ever had!!! I love it soo much I eat mine with cooked rice also.. it just take so long to make,, expect to spend almost half the day preparing this with spinach leaf..
😭😭😭😭😭 you did this to meeeee. thanks for the alternatives dear. I miss this sooo much. I ate ekwang last when I was about 8years old but I perfectly well remember how good it tastes. Great job😘😘
Awwww I'm sowie. Nothing like Ekwang!

Looks delicious as usual. You never let me down. Now quick question. What can be substituted in place of palm oil?
Palm oil looks so rich.
Aunty am here with you ooooh
Aunt Precious, please do you use more of the white and little red cocoyams? Or vice versa? What do you recommend?
How can it taste without pepper. You can put it in for the gud flavour to come out. I mean put it whole
Pepper is not the ultimate spice. Many people don't eat it. But remember she talked of white and black pepper.
Thanks for the recipe very useful but I can't find the video for how to make dry fish and home
I hope I marry a wife like u precious kitchen, I really love Cameroonian food

Great
Hi,what's the name of the leaf you use to fold the cocoyam with ,please?
Collard greens.
作ったら、めちゃ美味しかった🎵
Never used anything but cocoyam leaves. From your kitchen I used collard greens and it came out perfect. Thanks.
You are welcome. Thanks for the feedback!
It would be very helpful if u listed all the ingredients to your recipes. It would save on cooking and prep time
Hello sweety,is collard greens what they call in our country Chinese cabbage?our Country Cameroon?thanks sis

I'm making this tomorrow. Love it. You are funny too "pepperless"? Mine will be "pepperfull" Lol
Hope you enjoy!
Hi Precious!Thanks for the wonderful video. I noticed you used C.D… palm oil. I really love to buy some.Do know any store in the States or Canada where I could find it.
Hi Benny! I believe I bought it from an Asian store in Minnesota at the time. Right now not really sure where you could find it.
Mummy precious is more btasteful just with
White pepper
Black pepper
Contry onions
Cocoyams leaves
Pepper like u said is optional. I won't lie u will like it with it.
Snails or cravette
Bc it traditionally meal for the oroko people of Cameroon. But I love ur dishes
Ekwang is the best , if u cam Cameroon and u no chop ekwang , that means say u no reach Cameroon u end for air.
The best
Mama ehhhhh memories
awww that's really nice which leave is that ?
Grace Mba collard greens.
Precious Kitchen thanks alot
do we eat those leaves?
Latysha Bahida yes we do.
Hi Ms. Precious..... is there a difference between what is called pebe and country onions??
nwillayi Pebe is longer and similar in shape to groundnuts when they are still in the shell. On the other hand, country onions are round.
Momma, without any lie, I want to know cooking like u, literally knows everything with the kitchen, please do some brain transfer 😁😁😁😁😁, I just want to know all these
can the cocoyam be blended?
Zany Zee yes if you have a powerful blender that doesn't require you to add lots of water while blending.
Please is good to list all the ingredients
Nice, pls why did you oil the pan first and secondly why did you use a sauce pan instead of a pot?
I oil the pan to prevent sticking. There's no exact reason why I used a saucepan. You can definitely use a pot!
Hi mom is orien I love your cooking
Thank you Orien ❤
mom place i have open my own RUclips channels and how i put vidoes inside
pls can you help me
My name sake oooh tnxs so much
I am doing it now oh . But I have Kale 🥬 the curly one ... Will this work?
I think that will work if you don't mind the taste of kale.
Precious Kitchen oohh if I could share the pics here! I am from Ivory Coast and decided to surprise my Fiancé from Cameroon (Bamenda). It went so great and the taste is awesome! I even used the leftover of rapped cocoyam to make your recipe of kwacoco bible (I used aluminium foil). It’s still steaming ☺️☺️ . Thank you so much !!!
Please I am Nigeria what can off leaf 🍃 is that
The leaf is called collard greens but traditionally we use cocoyam leaves to wrap. I only used collard greens here as a replacement.
Thanks
It looks very good but i also think the oil was a too much
My grandmother cook this the other day
How to make dried fish at home please
Here is a post on that: www.preciouscore.com/how-to-make-dried-fish-at-home/
Ekwang nah ma die
By the way, Happy New Year
Have a blessed new year dear!
happy New year💖💖
Happy New Year dear.
Precious Kitchen. hi precious like you cooking cant you make batton the manioc pls.
Hi Regine, I'll fulfill your request in the videos ahead.
Can I ask why you can't add a little g pepper and you kids can get used to eating it. Pepper is good for you.
This has been on my mind for weeks now. Great job. Can you please do kwa Coco Bible next? Hope I got the name right, lol
Hi Oliveira, I'll do Kwacoco Bible in the weeks ahead.
Precious Kitchen Thankyou very much😉
Oliveira thank God u mentioned it. I had thesame thought too.
wonderful cooking there I think 3 seasoning cubes is too much as the salt was OK. tooo much cube is not good 4 our health
Is this not a calabar food in nigerian
God is the ultimate we call it ekwang, y’all call is ekpang or sth. It’s both similar
Nope le taro ce n'est pas le macabo. Il n' y a aucune confusion a ce sujet
Nefertiti S. She's just saying that where she lives, in the shop they call it "Taro"...... not that they're the same thing
Taro/dasheen is the English word of "coco" (coco is pidgin and native dialect word for calling that vegetable root).
It really irritates me when people, especially our African people do not feed our children the same food as the eat or somehow try to modify it. You will never catch an Indian doing that to their traditional food. Nothing is wrong with feeding kids pepper in moderation.
I am from Pakistan and i have heard about this food. I dont know that why did i Watch this whole video. Toooooooo much oil
