Notes
Nse's Tip: For maximum flavor,
make sure to roast the Uyayak
pod before use. You could roast
over fire or in the oven for a few
minutes. Also you may add the
Uyayak as the meat starts to boil,
so that it cooks with the meat for
a great flavor


1 small to medium stewing
chicken cut into stew sizes
1 Uyayak Pod(divided)
3 tbsps. dry pepper(divided)
3 tbsps dry grounded crayfish
(divided)
1 large dry fish(wash and
soak to soften)
4 pieces of boiled yam pieces
mashed with a mortar and set
aside
1 bouillon
salt to taste
1. break the Uyayak pod into
two and grind half into fine
powder then pour in some
water. Pour the mix through
a fine mesh sieve and set
aside.
3. Place chicken into a soup
pot with two table spoons of
the crayfish, two table
spoons of the dry pepper,
salt and the bouillon cube.
Let the meat cook in it's
own juices. Once the stock
starts to dry up, pour some
water to the level of the
meat and check for
seasonings. Once the meat
is tender, pour in the sieved
liquid from the Uyayak pod
into the meat stock and drop
the other half into the pot.
Add in the dry fish and the
yam mash and stir to
combine. Cover and cook for
another 5 minutes. Once the
soup thickens to your desire,
add the remaining dry
pepper and grounded
crayfish, stir and set aside.
