LENTIL MOIN MOIN
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- Today, I'll be spotlighting Moin Moin on the Kitchen Muse - switching out beans for Lentils. Now if you haven't gotten on the Lentil bandwagon, you're really missing out. It's one of the most understated pulses out there especially for any one who's looking to keep a healthy diet without necessarily compromising taste. Also great for kiddies meals. Lentils are my go-to alternative for beans, so it's just apt that on this episode I'm using it in place of my regular brown beans for this Moin Moin recipe.
And it's absolutely amazing, people! Not just the taste but also it's nutritional value with respect to its protein and fiber content - beating hands-down any other legume in its category.
I hope you guys try this sometime if you haven't done so already. And let me know what other lentil recipes you're currently whipping up.

Hi Bukie, That Lentil thing is an innovation that earns you a genius title. No more hassle of removing the shell off the beans. The Moi Moi came out perfect like the beans recipe. What a great idea. Keep it up. And thank you for for showing the greatness of African people in the world.
Omo Alare Thank you so much 😊
Omg this video should have gotten more views than it did, because this is the easiest way to make moi moi. I just made it tonight and I let it cook for 45 minutes as well and it was the best I couldn't tell the difference between lentils and beans. Thanks for sharing it will forever change my life
winifred Harry Thanks for your comment Winifred, I'm glad it worked out for you. Thanks for watching x
Pardon my long story but just folks to know you are the real deal.I made this today. I just want to thank you. It was the best moi moi I ever made. If I don't have naija beans, I won't even worry. I changed it a tiny bit. I am not a fan of eggs so I skipped it. I used canned mackerel (lazy me) and used the broth. Added onions, bouillon and crayfish to it. Boiled it a bit. The red lentils were less than $2. I invested in a steamer which cost $15...very deep...so I steamed the moi moi. I used bags from moimoipouch.com. Love you namesake...with love all the way from Houston!
omogenaija1 Thanks name sake 😀 Glad you appreciate it. I love you for watching and leaving a feedback. I should check you when I'm in Houston next 💝
Awesome! I'd be delighted to meet you!
Went through the site you mentioned, I love the product but can't pay $7 for shipping.lol.i will go for aluminum foil instead.
Thank you so much for your recipe, just made this today and it's awesome and hassle free!!! I live in Poland and it's not common to find regular beans so lentils truly made my cooking easier especially as I wouldn't have found the time or motivation to wash-peel the beans. You're also very articulate and lovely (enjoy watching you). Your videos are educational and calming. Excellent work, you truly help many. PS: I also made akara from the same mix but be sure to whisk it more to fluff up...
Your kitchen would make me want to cook everyday. the layout is so good. Your equipment and tools are just *sigh, no words*. I'm less busy in the office today and all i have planned to do is watch your videos.
Olaide Ogunba Thank you for taking the time to watch, don't forget to subscribe and share with your friends...or colleagues 😁
Lentils are the best for moin moin. When I discovered it a few years ago, I did not bother with beans anymore. Super easy and tastes delicious
Lentils are a bean
@@Truth_seeker777 and your comment is???
Nice clean video, great recipe.... i always come back to this channel for inspiration. Thanks.
Hi Bukky, I made this today and it came out perfect! My family couldn't even tell it wasn't beans. Thank you so much x
Lentils is a bean
This recipe is the TRUTH!!!!! I tried it this weekend and it was a hit & easy to make! Bye bye beans, helllllooooo lentils!
Ejay O Hey Ejay, I’m glad you like it.
Very good teaching on how to make mimi, this is real good
Oh my pickled gherkins!!! Not even sure why I sought lentil moin moin but ur channel popped up.
These are hands down, finger-licking good.
Family are loving it. Thankfully I made a pot full if it. 😎😎😎
Yesss!!!
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
I am going to try it tomorrow, hope it comes out 👍
this video is underated o!
I'm hungry your kitchen is so beautiful
glory petergx!pvvcxxxz so I'm new acquaintances Thanks
Looks beautiful! Thank you
Good recipe, but the really amazing thing is putting a liquid batter into a leaf, I think. There are a lot of similar things in the world (like Mexican Tamales, or Chinese or Vietnamese rice dumplings) but they all use a filling that's partly cooked or kind of solid... nobody else wraps up a liquid into a leaf. It's hard to believe it doesn't get out! I want to try this, because there are banana leaves out in the yard. Backup plan: Make in a bread pan, but line with the banana leaves. I'm expecting a big mess.
Hi Leonard, it takes practice to wrap the leaves tightly enough for the filling not to get out. Your backup plan will definitely work otherwise you can use greased ramekins or aluminium foil. It will only be a small mess, LOL
Nice! I will be trying this very soon. This is a very good option. Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing. I have been thinking of using it to make soup....like groundnut soup kinda soup 😂😂😂 and I have been asking myself, "se kosi".....lol. Thanks again for sharing.
You’re welcome
I have been trying to find recipes for lentils because I have yet to be successful with any recipe I've found, and I'm a good cook! But this!?! I'm sold on the fact alone that no bean peeling is involved. Making some tonight.
From one Bukky to another Bukie Thank you!
bugabookay Lol, let me know how it goes.
2 months later...and I've tried this recipe MULTIPLE times with green (what I had on hand) and red lentils (when I finally found some), not together. Love it and the taste is extremely close. Thank you again for this alternative!
bugabookay I'm glad it's been very useful for you. Share some pictures with me on Instagram, tag me @Thekitchenmuse. Thanks as always for your comments
This is awesome! Will definitely try it. I appreciate you!
Thank you so much.
I am also going to use this recipe for regular moi moi. Getting a cooking steamer too since leaves are hard to come by here. Best Naija subscription ever!
Oh wow! Thank you. You can also use foil paper.
I will be trying this soon Buki🌹
God bless you abundantly, I can finally make moi moi without beans
Amen Iwerieborogechi. Thank you for watching.
Wow just stumbled on this channel and I must say I'm impressed! (def gained a subscriber lol). Quick question if you are using full lentils do you have to soak it more than 30 mins?
Ok I just stumbled across your channel. I like your unique and innovative ways with food especially Nigerian foods which people tend to make the same ol', same ol', way. I will try this as I just loooove moi moi. Two questions please, while everyone was looking at your cooking ...me? ... I was looking at your mixing bowl with the really cool purple thingymajing handle. Where did you get it. Second question...do you live in Nigeria if not where did you get moimoi leaves. I live in London and this is like gold dust! Thanks for sharing this idea, I would never have thought to use lentils like this in a million years. Stella
Morning! You should have more views / recommendations on RUclips on this video, cause now everyone is making akara/ moi moi with red lentil.! Pls Repost this video so it pops up on people’s recommendation when they are looking for alternative. Love your content
Wow I just stumbled on your channel today and I'm hooked already:) Where have I been??
Omonike LOL!! Thank you for stopping by 😆
Thanks for this recipe Bukky. Made it a couple of days ago and it was a hit. I however found the moimoi was a bit hard compared with beans moimoi even though I felt I added enough water and blended twice. Any suggestions on how I can avoid this next time? Thanks
I haven't made it yet, I am guessing it might be more air needs to be incorporated into it. I could be wrong.
That made me hungry just watching !
Thanks soo much !!!I wanted a recipe to try
You're welcome
Hello, did you take out the back of the lentils as we do using black eye beans?
I see the ingredients listed in the description box😊. Thanks for listening to your very loyal subscribers 😀
I'm glad you're pleased 😚
Hi Bukie please what is the pot called and the brand? Kind of look like ceramic.....would like to check amazon. Brilliant recipe I have used it a couple of times and it's so so good
This is a phenomenal recipe! I just discovered your channel and I have been watching your videos nonstop. I notice your Philips blender is quite powerful, please could you state the model name and number? Thank you
kingdaughter It’s a Phillips HR2195 900w
Hello Bukie...thank you for sharing and your video are quite helpful. What brand of blender do you use and where can I get it?
Nice video.please where did you get the hand whisk?
Can I use Red lentils flour as well, then mix and steam? Skipping the blender entire process.
Yes
So nice.
Thank you.
i like titus fish too!
Lol
Lovely video! What toolkit do you use to record your videos?
❤️💕
Where can I get beautiful pots like yours?
I've heard folks say calabash nutmeg adds a nice flavor to moimoi. Is this something you've tried?
omogenaija1 I haven't tried it but thinking about it, it may not be bad it'll add another flavor dimension.
thanks for sharing. my question is if am on a keto diet can eat this?
It deepends on your daily carb allowance
Lentils are 63.10grams of Carbohydrate per 100grams of raw red lentils
Instead of asking questions of random people why not actually go to a good website like this
ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/16144?fgcd=&manu=&format=&count=&max=25&offset=&sort=default&order=asc&qlookup=Red+Lentils&ds=&qt=&qp=&qa=&qn=&q=&ing= And do your food search.
If you want to be in Ketosis you need to know exactly how much carbohydrate is in what you are eating.
this is nice. send my own oh! question, can I use chickpeas to make moin moin?
I haven't tried using chickpeas but I think it will work.
@@thekitchenmuse I'm so happy I stumbled on this. I'd tried chickpeas but I found that the moi moi remains kinda runny after it's cooked, unlike that made with kidney beans. Not sure why! Will give lentils a shot!! Thanks for this video.
Please can brown lentils be used? just bought brown, didn't know it's got close to 3 types..Thanks
Atinuke Joseph Yes brown lentils can be used but your finished product will also be brown, however the taste remains the same.
+BukiesKitchenMuse..Thanks so much, God bless you richly Amen
so whats up with egg?
Where can I get lentils to buy in Nigeria, and please what is the local name. Thanks.
You can find it in the 'grains' aisle in most supermarkets.
Shop Perfect, Spar and Bazaar Supermarket at Ilupeju if you're in Lagos
I have just ordered my lentils, I hope this is good oo. it's the consistency I worry about. also you should have shown a taste test. Anyway thanks for sharing xx
Hi Hawa, trust me it's good. Make sure not to add too much liquid when you're blending and when mixing. Let me know how it goes.
back again lol. bhet I love beans. it's healthy too right?
Lol. Yes it is.
Thanks for sharing but permit me to add: your moimoi doesn't really need additional "hydrogenated oils" the fish and the fish stocks has enough oil in it already.
For the love and care of your heart and your internal organs, the less man-made oil you add to your meals, the safer and better for YOU and your family's overall health
Great video, love your cooking and pardon me to say..You're beautiful. Thumb up
You do not need so much seasoning cubes, if any. This is a dangerous way to cook.
Yummy you are so beautiful
