In this recipe, we’ll show you how to prepare authentic Banga Soup using Udyfoods Ogbonge Palm Oil — Nigeria’s finest, unadulterated, and flavor-rich palm oil that gives your soup that true taste of home.
🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need
-
2 cups of Udyfoods Ogbonge Palm Oil
-
1 kg assorted meat (beef, goat meat, shaki, pomo)
-
1 cup dried or smoked fish
-
2 tablespoons ground crayfish
-
2 tablespoons Banga spice mix (or Udyfoods blended spice)
-
1 small onion (chopped)
-
1 tablespoon ground pepper or fresh atarodo
-
Scent leaves or dried bitter leaves (for aroma)
-
Stock cubes and salt to taste
🍳 Preparation Steps
Step 1: Prepare Your Meat
Wash and season your assorted meat with salt, onions, and seasoning cubes. Add a little water and cook until tender. Keep the meat stock — it adds depth and flavor to your Banga soup.
Step 2: Heat the Udyfoods Ogbonge Palm Oil
Pour about ½ to 1 cup of Udyfoods Ogbonge Palm Oil into your pot. Allow it to melt gently (do not bleach). The rich, natural red color of Udyfoods oil brings out the signature golden hue of real Banga Soup.
Step 3: Build the Base
Add your meat stock into the pot of palm oil. Stir well and let it simmer for 5–7 minutes. Then, add ground crayfish, Banga spice mix, ground pepper, and onions. Stir to combine.
Step 4: Add Fish and Meat
Now, add your cooked meat and smoked fish to the pot. Let everything cook together on low heat for about 10 minutes so the flavors blend beautifully.
Step 5: Finish with Herbs
Add your scent leaves or bitter leaves towards the end. Stir and let it simmer for another 2–3 minutes. The aroma at this stage should remind you of traditional kitchens back home!
