In this video, i show you how to make the best vegan Egusi Soup.
I used extra firm organic tofu and baby Bella mushrooms as the meat substitute but you can use any other thing you like.
Also, I didn’t add any vegetable stock cubes, just salt, garlic ginger, and the local spice -locust beans (Iru)
After pouring the egusi, I cooked it for about 10mins
Ingredients
3/4 cup ground melon seeds (egusi)
2oz baby Bella mushrooms (it came in a 4oz pack and I just used about half of it),
14oz/397g Extra firm organic Tofu (I used ‘Nasoya’, the whole pack) - fried and seasoned with salt & onion powder
1 large diced onion ( divided into two, one part for the melon seeds and the other part for the frying),
2 cooking spoonful palm oil,
1 tbs - 11/2 tbs Locust beans (iru),
1 clove garlic,
1/4 of a thumb of ginger,
1 1/2 tsp salt,
1 1/2 cup of water
a generous handful of chopped spinach,
1 deseeded scotch bonnet (for the garnish),
Pepper mix - for this, I blended 2 large bell peppers, 2 scotch bonnets & 1 medium onion. After I boiled it to reduce the moisture so it would be easier for me to fry it in the palm oil.
