@asheyblack Ah! That’s the only reason I came here to find out if there was an easier way to wash these things
okay why is it so freaking hard to peel my black eyed peas HELP
@summerglow she told you buddy…get your mind right, no half stepping
I still use brown beans and wash it like my mum. Add some corn beef and egg. My husband loved Moi Moi. I do bake in the oven too. Good job, you bring professionalism to Nigerian cooking
moi moi is not a pudding, I will classify it as a cake, pudding is supposed to be like custard or corn starch pudding (akamu, ogi).
Sweet mama … i will never forget you .. all the suffering you suffer for me ohhhh.. sweet mamaaaaaaa … sweet mama oh yo yohhhhh….
@summerglow uncle so please wat do u want her to speak, so everyone understands!! …pls try to support your fellow Africans, it would help make us united and move forward! God bless you :)
THANK U FOR BEING SO FLUENT IN UR PRESENTATIONS, GOOSH JUST WATCH ONE SHERATON HOTEL ABUJA CHEF NOW, WAS SO DISAPPOINTED, NOTHING 2 SHOW FORTH SEF.
@chinazoqueen
Thank you for your comment. The suggestion is not really baking, but steaming. You will notice that the foil pan is placed in a tray with water and the tray is then foiled over before putting it into the oven. This creates a steam tent within which it is cooked or steam cooked. May be you want to try it again. Best wishes.
I really appreciate how professional and articulate this video is, as well as informative. Thank you for making the effort. The critics should expect more of our Nigerian people and stop expecting everything we do to be rass. :)
@summerglow
AAAH do u want her to speak pidgin my friend, ABEG!
@bonifide203
Surely its about the food and the style of cooking that matters! When u see celebrity cooks on TV, they dress stylish, to create the right impression! Not just some dirty overalls my friend!
Your mode of dressing for the cooking does not fit. Try to put on a short blouse and apron for hygiene sake. Keep doing what you know how to do best.
@odeigahouse
carry go jare madam,lol the fact is that to attract the jaie olivers bbc and mainstream to african food you are on the right track and i wish you all the best waiting for the first african cook show on bbc
Enjoyed the video but baking moi-moi in the oven is a new thing for me. I steam mine in a pot, a friend used the same oven method but when i ate it i got a belly ache. Well done
excellent description anf well presented… Thank you.Will try to do mine now and see how it turns out lol
Thank you for your comment. We are all trying to develop ourselves and our culture in varying ways and endeavour.
Moi moi is indeed a pudding for it is steam cooked (as is christmas pudding). Akara on the other hand is fried and can be described as ‘bean fritters’.
Remain blessed and thanks again.
Ma’am your presentation to me was excellent. We need more affluent patriotic ambassadors who are not half baked, and who are not unwilling to be innovative in all that they stand for; from our land. My question in regards to “proper representation/description” is: Should moinmoin be called pudding even as solid as it is? I do not mean to make a big deal out of it; but it looks more like a cake by “prep” standards, while akara looks more like “fried beans fillet”.
Thank you for posting. Excellent video. I enjoyed the comments about beans and plantain and what they symbolize. Please post more. Please ignore the haters and don’t allow them to ‘rain on your parade’.
Thanks for the video, please make more. Please don’t mind the ignorant people commenting on your video. Its obvious you are a well educated woman. There is no reason to dumb yourself down.
P.S if you cannot follow the grammar, perhaps you need to read more books!
Yes my broda, na moi moi I dey cook, but na serious business. If d world begin dey like to eat moi moi, may be you sef fit become millioniare, abi?
What is worth doing is worth doing well.
God bless you!
A real live jungle bunny!
madam abeg take am easy na only moi moi u dey cook, no need for all the grammar…carry go abeg
ok i didn’t finish the video, i stopped at 0:59 secs cos the grammar is simply too much for me haba!!!
saw this on a credit card commercial
Cool Video, Thanks I was curious how it was made I didn’t understand when I read a recipe. I will have to look up a recipe for meringue though. Nice video though. Let me go like this.
Your video leaves out a great deal of information while making the meringue
measurements , temperatures and procedures……all of this info is essential especially for someone starting out……..you yourself must be an amateur .
The boy did nothing but eat the final product.
I thought for my whole like it was fried icecream !!!! Now I see that its not that and its really quite simple !
i only want to make this to see how much cooking skill i have. apparently you need 8 points in cooking to make this dessert.
@KBAFourthtime The ice cream stays cold. The meringue is a really good insulator, because its full of air, so it keeps the ice cream cold
When it comes to using a blowtorch, how do you use it to brown the meringue without melting the ice cream? Can sherbet be substituted?
@KBAFourthtime
its called a baked alaska because it was “invented” in 1876, the same time as the recently acquired American territory, Alaska. I am Canadian, but i know that February 1 is Baked Alaska Day in the United States.
Fun Fact (:
This video fails to show how to make the meringue – what were the amounts of ingredients? It appears she beat it over a double boiler and was monitoring the temperature but there is no mention of any of that!! And she doesn’t explain how you would make a baked alaska in the oven.
I read that the Chinese first had a similar idea, but for the insulation they didn’t use meringue, which was the idea of the French much later. The French called their Baked Alaska (the actual first one) an “omelette à la norvégienne” (Norwegian omelette, which was named so for the same reason we call this the Baked Alaska; both Alaska and Norway have really low temperatures, like the ice cream.
I understand the “baked” in “Baked Alaska”, but is the purpose of the “Alaska” part because it has something that’s cold like the real Alaska?
food network has better recipes…
**YUM..YUM…THAT LOOKS GOOD**
pistachio ice cream?can i use other flavors?
cheat
gave me the munchies
I’ve seen it done commercially with entire sheets. You talk about skill. It was amazing to watch.
@Trojansrule8 lmaoo!
those aren’t stiff peaks. -.-
@hangv001 yes, just be careful not to burn yourself.
That was great, thanks!
Dude…I had no idea it was so easy! Thanks for posting this up here, I love this treat :D
Did she cook or partially cook the meringe over the stove? Can anyone tell me please if its possible to make meringue over a low heat perhaps? Everytime I make meringue the texture is correct – but there is a taste and smell of raw eggs … Its awful. Is there anything you could add to the recipe that could help? Please help ! thank you
they should call it it burnt alaska cos i don’t see any baking….
