I made this today for my guy. He started to lecture me on the importance of doing moi moi the right way. But then he tasted my dish prepared using your instructions and said "Oh, this is good!" Thanks so much!!
Hi Aunty Flo! Made this some few days back with the beans flour. You know I would skip the boiled egg but added smoked fish instead but used raw egg in the mix and concentrated tomato puree for the classic moi moi colour.. And it came out nice.. Thanks so much for sharing! Love you loads
Ahhh really i know it now add These to my Special Food, Even for celebrations here is now My First try wish me good look 🙏😊 i love to Cook it sigh i love moi moi ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
"my hands are battle hand ohhhh" LOL!! girl i feel the same way, i can stick my hand in any pot! i have never made moi moi with bean flour, only real beans but your recipe looks good i may have to try it=)
Chai Chioma Anoliefo! Where did you think up Ogbaloti from??? The one prepared with egusi? My mum just brought me some ingredients for that so the video is coming up soon! Hopefully, we are referring to the same dish. :)
You are the best in cookery in most videos I have seen..thanks so much.. Hmm, which kpako hands??...that's the best for a lady that knows her salt..lol..
Hey auntie flo loooooovvvvve your channel,one question can I make moi moi with chick peas flour aka garbanzo bean . If yes can you do a recipe for me to see thank you.
c.o agba you can use red bell peppers. Be careful with using conc. tinned tomatoes because they can make the Moi Moi tangy. I have another video where I used the watery tomato paste: ruclips.net/video/HpmnBzeWz8Q/видео.html
Goodmorning my dear and thank so much for the post.Its really helpful. But want to know if the 1.2 litres of water is for all the mix.Does the 1.2 litre covers the first water you used in mixing the beans flour initially. Thanks so much.
Sia Suzanne no, it won’t work because the beans have already been cooked. What sets the moi-moi is the starch inside the beans. If the beans have already been cooked, the starch would already have set, so won’t hold the shape you want for your moimoi. Always start with raw, soaked beans, or bean-flour (also raw).
My moi moi is cooking this second. I used all the listed ingredients minus eggs plus garlic and canned tuna. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, I will present my verdict. *fingers crossed*
The verdict: I will give myself 4 out of 5 because it was almost salty...almost! Apart from that, it tasted great. I will be careful next time for sure. Thanks for the recipe!
Sabine Onwuka I used beans flour once, and found it to have a bitter after taste. I was put off using bean flour. Since Flo has given it a seal of approval, I may try again. 🙏🏿 I pray it works.
aluxbalum I think you can but the taste will not be the same when you use other types of beans flour. Also you may need to reduce the quantity of water you add because some beans flour are not as "binding" as black eyed beans flour.
That foil bag was perfect. If you ever have the time, could you show us how to fold one from the foil roll. For now, I will have to use aluminium containers. Please share your cooking anointing and deliver some of us from potty land. hahaha.
Hahaha don't worry, most of us Nigerians have kpako hands too😅😅 Is there any brand of beans flour that you feel is more recommendable for moimoi! I live in the UK if that helps, thank you.
Andee GlamFairy no specific brand dear. Once it says beans flour on it, it should be ok. Some of them are specific and mention that the flour is made from black-eyed beans.
vikingv2000 bell peppers have a higher water content than long red peppers- this will water down your moin moin mixture and make it harder for it to set. In addition to that- bell peppers have a completely different flavour- trust me- it won’t be very nice. (I’ve tried it before) The other thing about this is that the effect createed by the right type of pepper (or indeed the tomato puree) is a thickening effect on the moimoi mixture as it cooks- bell peppers can’t do this. It’s for this same reason that I’d use long red peppers for my stew rather than bell peppers. Flavour, colour and texture/thickness. I was always told, growing up, that you don’t use tomatoes in moin moin. But Flo has obviously tested and tried her method well enough for it to work. I reckon it’s worth a try. 😉
Kzora100 it improved the texture of the Moi Moi. Flour is dry, simply mixing it with water does not get it as "wet" as when you leave it to soak. You will understand it better when you prepare Moi Moi with and without leaving the mix to soak. When you compare the 2 results and you will see the difference in texture.
Hey there, thank u for sharing. I made all what i See, Problem the Taste? Moi moi Taste every Time if i buy or get it from Friends like Fish, but My own dont have it? Why? Pls can u help me? I like the Fish Taste ☺️ but i don't like Bones, Maybe u can help me. Thank u in Advance.
Maybe those that cook the ones you eat add lots of crayfish. Crayfish is ground into powder before adding to the Moi Moi. Or sardines. If you see pieces of sardines in the ones they cook then it's where the fishy taste comes from. How to make crayfish >> ruclips.net/video/3JK8tIb3PlM/видео.html
+All Nigerian Recipes thank u so much for answering, yes u are Right, My Husband said the Moi Moi was good 👍👏😉 is Different Taste.

I wish to know too
2022 and I appreciate this recipe😆
Thanks so much for this moi moi recipe. Will be trying it out soon. However, why did you have to soak for 3 hours?
To rehydrate the beans flour I think. Read that somewhere ❤
Sis mi! You don come again with your fabulicious food...mmm!......
:D Where have you been vixxy02?
Please can l mix with warm water to achieve a good texture thereby shortening the 3hours time frame to soak the beans flour?
I use warm water and only soak for 30mins to 45 mins
@@graceakinniyi3643 thanks so much ma, will try that.

I don't have Nigeria nutmeg here... Can I use d satchet ones usually use for jollof rice??
Pls can we use sachet tomato?
Yummy , I like ur explaination
Must you leave to soak?
Why do we leave the soaked beans flour for 3 hrs?
What's 250g to that our standard measuring cup of 250ml?. I want to cook this right now. I have all the ingredients required.
Nice one dear
You are the best in cookery in most videos I have seen..thanks so much.. Hmm, which kpako hands??...that's the best for a lady that knows her salt..lol..

Cordelia Nchezor if it will not smell, sure go ahead.
Hey auntie flo loooooovvvvve your channel,one question can I make moi moi with chick peas flour aka garbanzo bean . If yes can you do a recipe for me to see thank you.

You are very good
Aye! Yes. My local store sells Bl eye peas pre skinned & dry.
‘Battle hands” 🙌🏼 women tough 💪🏿
Thanks for the video but want to know if I can use tin tomato and make it watery by myself to replace tatashe or watery tomato.
c.o agba you can use red bell peppers. Be careful with using conc. tinned tomatoes because they can make the Moi Moi tangy. I have another video where I used the watery tomato paste: ruclips.net/video/HpmnBzeWz8Q/видео.html
Hello Flo💛 love all your videos. You helped me learn how to cook lol. On this, moi moi with bean flour or plantain flour, which one tastes better?
Goodmorning my dear and thank so much for the post.Its really helpful. But want to know if the 1.2 litres of water is for all the mix.Does the 1.2 litre covers the first water you used in mixing the beans flour initially. Thanks so much.
At time 4:30 I said "Add the REMAINING water from the list ..." so the 1.2 litres is the total water.
Can you cook this moi moi for 30 minute with pressure pot?
thanks to this video i made my first moi moi and it tasted delicious
+Ayman Y Well done. :)
please teach me how to make akara with bean flour thank you
Will add it to my list of requests. :)
Pls how do I preserve my Moimoi if my family can't finish it a day.
What’s the difference between bell pepper and tatashe?
Yummy yummy,I love your recipes a lot, but wat if there's no blender.
looks yummy
Sis, can i use a already boiled beans to prepare this? I will peel the skin off
Sia Suzanne no, it won’t work because the beans have already been cooked. What sets the moi-moi is the starch inside the beans. If the beans have already been cooked, the starch would already have set, so won’t hold the shape you want for your moimoi. Always start with raw, soaked beans, or bean-flour (also raw).
We can use normal beans
Can smoked turkey be used as well? I tried the corn beef but i couldn't taste it in the moi moi.
Djoanng you sure can add anything you want. I would break the smoked turkey into small pieces before adding. People add sardines, smoked fish, etc
Whats d difference if you don't leave it for 3 hours or if you cook immediately?
agbonkhese precious the texture
I really like that pot base you used. Any idea where I can get one? Keep up the good work :)
Spdz Limitz you can buy it in cooking utensil shops, ask for stainless steel pot stand.
@@FloChinyere pls what is the name of the tomatoes puree
nice one. thanks
soaked the flour for 3hours or 3 minutes?
Hi why did you let the beans power mix stay for 3hrs before using?
Victor thedon to improve the texture of the moi moi
You're The Best!
This is cute. I'm gonna give it a trial... Weldon.

Yayyy! Believe it or not, Moi Moi is a difficult meal to prepare. Well done!
Hello pls i must ask u, can it be, that the beanflower is bitter? Thanks in advance 😉
Sabine Onwuka I used beans flour once, and found it to have a bitter after taste.
I was put off using bean flour.
Since Flo has given it a seal of approval, I may try again.
🙏🏿 I pray it works.
It comes out bitter if it is not properly cooked.
Can this be made with any bean flour? I have a hard time finding black-eye pea flour, can it be made with black, brown, etc. bean flour? thank you
aluxbalum I think you can but the taste will not be the same when you use other types of beans flour. Also you may need to reduce the quantity of water you add because some beans flour are not as "binding" as black eyed beans flour.
I used another type since they don't have black eyed beans here and it came out delicious thank you
aluxbalum glad to read that. Well done! :)

Flo you Rock! I can only wish to be able to cook like this for my husband, p.s. he is helping me learn alot of dishes😉
Is it necessary to leave for 3hours please
Yes for better texture. Try it both ways and see the difference.
must i blend the mix?
+Ofure Osagie blending helps incorporate everything. And if there are lumps blending will get rid of those. But no, you must not.
What is this pepper you say to use not red bell pepper what is it called in America please. Thank you.
Bean flour is it Garbanzo beans flour ?? Chick peas flour ??
Black eyed beans flour.
Thanks so much..
nice...But why did you leave to sit for 2 hours?
why can't we use bell pepper? i thought tomato was not meant to be used?
vikingv2000 bell peppers have a higher water content than long red peppers- this will water down your moin moin mixture and make it harder for it to set. In addition to that- bell peppers have a completely different flavour- trust me- it won’t be very nice. (I’ve tried it before)

What happens if you don’t soak the bean flour for 3 hours
Why soak?
And again, can you teach how to fold aluminum foil?
Please why did u soak the beans flour paste for 3hours?
Please, why are we soaking the beans flour for 3 hours?

This reminds me of a version of Tamale. Cool.
I gave my Nagerian friend a Oaxaca Tamal and he said it reminds him of this 😲

Yayyyy! Well done Sabine for doing a great job there. ;) :)
😋 delicious
Where can I buy the beans flour ???
In African food shops outside Nigeria.
It is also sold in Nigeria but you have to really look hard for it in Nigeria.
If you are in Nigeria where I am, let me know your present location so I can get it across to you.( I mean the bean flour you asked for)
Hi. I tried this but mine came out soggy? Any reason for this ?? Looking forward to your response
Did you cook it long enough? If yes the only other thing I can think of is that you added too much water when mixing it.
Auntie Flo the bean flour is not the same.
Why do you need to cover the beans for so long?
Ada anyi daaluoo
Ndewo nne! :)
You are so funny
Hi
The voice tho 🤣🤣
The moi moi is too watery
Lp
Jesus is lord
I don't like nutmeg
You’re too much Flo
This one is Oyibo moi moi. Not african.
