  3. MBỌGHỌ or MBUGHU 🤎 Igbo nwere nri. This meal had my parents licking their fingers and begging me to make it again 😂 Mind you, this was my first attempt and I absolutely nailed it. It was so delicious and satisfying. One thing about Igbo dishes is that many of them are slowly fading away. Some of these meals were passed down from our grandparents and parents, but today, many young people have never even tasted them or heard their names before. That is one of the major reasons I create the kind of content I do. I genuinely love documenting our local Igbo dishes, not just because they are delicious, but because every meal carries a story, a tradition, and a part of our identity as Igbo people. When you look closely, you’ll realize our food culture is rich beyond imagination. From the ingredients we use, to the methods of preparation, to the stories behind each dish… everything is deeply rooted in family, community, and tradition. To make this meal, all you need is: • Ji Abana White • Ji Abana Red • Ji Abii • Red Pepper • MAGGI Seasoning • Salt • Palm Oil • Onions • Kpomo • Ugba/Ukpaka • Ogiri Igbo • Green Vegetables Meanwhile, your favourite native spices are still available 👇🏾 1. Ofe Akwu Natural Local Spice Perfect for making Ofe Akwu (Banga stew). It gives that rich local, authentic taste and aroma. ₦15,000 2. Nsala Natural Local Spice Specially made for delicious Nsala soup. ₦15,000 3. Pepper Soup Local Spice Perfect for all kinds of pepper soup — chicken, beef, assorted meat, turkey, goat meat, etc. It can also be used to prepare Ji Mmiri-Oku for women after childbirth. ₦15,000 4. 3-in-1 Multipurpose Native Spice Perfect for Abacha, Nkwobi, Native Rice or Pasta, Vegetable Yam, Yam Porridge, and Ede Agworoagwo (Ede Bazaar). ₦15,000 5. Ita Ngu A healthier alternative to potash (Akanwu) for making Ncha for Abacha and Nkwobi. It also helps Ukwa, Fio Fio, and beans cook faster and softer. ₦10,000 #ADayInMyLife #Mbogho #SpendTheDayWithMe #LocalFood #IgboAmaka
