Instructions for Making Pounded Yam and Egusi Soup in Step-by-Step Form

Method 1. Using a mortar and pestle.

Step 1

Peel the yam using a good knife. Get rid of any blemishes or stains.

Step 2

After cutting into big pieces, quickly pour into the water and wash out any dirt.

Step 3

The yams should be cooked in a medium saucepan over high heat with just enough water to cover them. If necessary, taste and adjust the salt.

Step 4

Boil until tender for around 20 minutes. After removing the yams from the heat, properly drain them in a colander.

Step 5

Wash your mortar and pestle to keep them clean. Yam was ground in a mortar until it was flexible and smooth.

Step 6

Add water while hammering as required.

Step 7

Serve the soup immediately in a dish after rolling and plastic-wrapping the balls.
