Okpa is one of Igbo’s favorite delicacy.
It is peculiar to the people of Enugu state.
It is enjoyed by all. If you want to try it out, this is how👇🏻

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Prepare the Pot: Set a large pot of water to boil, as the mixture must go into boiling water immediately to avoid settling.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the okpa flour with palm oil. Rub the oil into the flour until it is fully incorporated, forming a nice orange color.

Add Seasoning & Water: Add sliced fresh pepper and salt.
Gradually add lukewarm water while mixing to avoid lumps.

Achieve Consistency: Keep adding water until you get a smooth, relatively light batter (consistency should not be too thick or too watery).

Wrap the Mixture: Scoop the batter into banana leaves or nylon bags (typically used small clear nylons). Tie the nylons securely to avoid leakage.

Cook: Immediately place the wrapped okpa into the boiling water. The water should be enough to cover the wraps. Cover the pot and cook on high heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Finish: Once the okpa is firm and properly formed, remove from the pot, allow it to cool down, and serve

Will you be trying it?

Do you want your child to speak Igbo, know their culture, and feel proud of who they are even if they don’t live in an Igbo-speaking regions?
Many children who grow up outside Igbo-speaking areas forget the language because they don’t hear it often. But Igbo is more than words. It is their identity, family, and culture.
With me, kids can learn to speak, read, and understand Igbo in a fun and easy way from anywhere in the world. They will talk with family, learn Igbo history and keep the language alive.
Egbu la oge!( Don’t waste time)!
