Hello everyone, I want to show us how to prepare Mr white, popularly known by the Igbo as Akpu and my own tribe(Ekpeye, Ahoada in Rivers State) as Ogbolo. Some others called it loiloi, and Santana.
Mr White is made from cassava, which was peeled, soaked for about 3-4days, meshed and the water will drain off, after which a sponge dough is formed.
Equipments:
. Mortar and pestle
. Wooden spoon
. Saucer and bowl
Pot of water
Steps for preparation.
Put the spongy dough in bowl or large pot.
Add little water to it, in order to make it smooth and for easy kneading.
Kneading it together.
After kneading you will have a smooth texture.
Allow the water to boil.
Mould it into ball shape and add to the boiled water.
Boil for 3mins-5mins depend on the heat of the fire, with the pot open, then remove it for the first pounding.
Still in the process of pounding.
It's ready to be added back into the pot.
It's in the pot now.
This Time you cover the pot.
Allow it to boil for 15mins to 20mins, still depends on the heat of the fire.
Remove and pound again till it is well smoothen.
Still in the process of pounding.
It is ready.
You can now transfer it into a cooler or plate as the case may be.
Oh yes, it is ready.
Thank you
