Put the dry beans in a bowl and add 2 cups of water. Rub the beans together with your hands to peel off the skin.
Use a sieve to separate the skin peels and water from the beans. Add clean water and repeat the process until the beans are completely skin-free.
If you have a blender for faster result skip previous process. Blend dry beans with 2 cups of water on the lowest speed for 1 minutes or 30 seconds.Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and separate the chaff from the beans, changing the water after each process. The goal is to have clean, skin-free beans as shown in the picture 👇
Add the cleaned beans, onions, crayfish, red pepper, and shombo pepper to a blender. Blend to a very smooth, creamy texture. Add a small amount of water to ease blending.
Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl. Add Gyma natural spice and cooked bone marrow fat for flavor and taste.
Add 1/2 cup of water to adjust the consistency. It should not be too watery or too thick. Add salt and taste to adjust seasoning.
Boil some eggs and fish. Fry the fish if desired, or shred it into pieces. If using shredded method, add to your moi moi while mixing
Cut the boiled eggs into halves or quarters.
Scoop 1 cup of the Moi Moi mixture into transparent nylon, Moi Moi leaves, foil paper, or aluminum foil plates.As for mine I used transparent nylon as shown in the picture.Add a slice of fried fish and a piece of sliced egg to each portion.
Tie the nylon securely ,double each nylon to prevent leakage . Repeat the process until all the mixture is used.
Place the tied Moi Moi portions into a pot of boiling water.
Cover the pot with a sack bag or foil for faster cooking, then place the lid on top.
Cook for about 30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a knife or spoon handle into the Moi Moi. If it comes out clean and non sticky, it is ready.
Allow to cool slightly or serve hot with pap, drinking garri, or your preferred accompaniment.
Use Moi Moi leaves for a more authentic flavor and healthier option.
Ensure the beans are thoroughly skin-free for a smooth texture.
Do not add too much water while blending to avoid a watery mixture.
If using nylon, tie each portion securely and double each nylon before tying to prevent leakage during cooking.
For a richer taste, use plenty of onions and crayfish in the mixture.
Can I use other oils instead of bone marrow fat?
Yes, you can use other oils like vegetable oil or palm oil, but bone marrow fat adds a unique flavor and health benefits.
What can I use if I don’t have Moi Moi leaves?
You can use transparent nylon, foil paper, or aluminum foil plates as alternatives.
How do I know when the Moi Moi is fully cooked?
Insert a knife or spoon handle into the Moi Moi. If it comes out clean and non-sticky, it is ready.
Can I skip the fish and eggs?
Yes, the fish and eggs are optional. You can skip them or replace them with other protein sources.
How can I make the peeling of beans faster?
Use a blender to roughly blend the beans with water at the lowest speed for a few seconds. This helps loosen the skin for easier removal.
