做法

分步操作

1
Soak the dried abacha in warm water for 10-15 minutes until softened, then drain thoroughly.
约 15分钟
烹饪提示： Ensure the abacha is completely drained to prevent a watery dish.
2
In a large bowl, combine the palm oil with the dissolved potash solution.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示： The potash helps emulsify the palm oil, giving the abacha its characteristic creamy texture and color.
3
Stir the palm oil mixture vigorously until it thickens and turns into a yellowish paste.
约 2分钟
4
Add the softened abacha, half of the yellow onion, crushed bouillon cube, minced habanero pepper, and salt to the bowl.
约 2分钟
5
If using, add the upe, garden egg, and ogili isi.
烹饪提示： Ogili isi is a fermented seed paste that adds a unique umami flavor.
6
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until the abacha is evenly coated with the palm oil mixture and all flavors are combined.
约 3分钟
烹饪提示： Use your hands for best results, ensuring every strand of abacha is coated.
7
Garnish with the remaining sliced yellow onion, red onion, and chopped utazi leaves.
约 1分钟
烹饪提示： Utazi leaves provide a slightly bitter and aromatic contrast.
8
Serve immediately as a snack or light meal.
