-

-

🍳 Cooking Tips (For Smooth, Stretchy Akple!)
🌽 1. Start with a slurry
Mixing a small amount of flour with cold water first prevents lumps.
🔥 2. Stir consistently
Akple thickens fast — good stirring = smooth texture.
🧂 3. Steam it
After it thickens, cover and steam for 3–5 minutes to unlock full flavor.
🍲 4. Best soups to pair with
Akple is PERFECT with:
-
Okra stew
-
Light soup (especially goat or fish)
-
Palm nut soup
-
Kontomire stew
-
Agushie stew
💧 5. Adjust thickness
More water = softer
Less water = firmer, more traditional texture
