Four local food Nigerians living abroad often miss

It is common for Nigerians abroad to miss the local food that they are used to eating as they can be sometimes difficult to find in other countries. Food is an important part of the culture and can bring back fond memories and a sense of home. Nigerian cuisine is known for its flavorful and diverse dishes and unique blend of herbs and spices. Little wonder the Nigerian taste bud still craves Nigerian food no matter how long we have lived abroad. Some popular dishes that are missed include:

Suya

Suya is a popular street food dish in Nigeria that is made from skewered and grilled meat, typically beef or chicken, that has been marinated in a mixture of spices popularly called Yaji. Yaji typically includes ingredients such as peanuts, onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers, among others.

At buyandcarry.com, we have made catching up with Suya easier for you. As far as you have access to meat and a grill/oven, you can order various blend of Yaji for that authentic taste of Naija Suya. We ship to you straight from Naija and we can deliver in as little as 5 days based on the shipping option that you choose. Enjoy your Suya with a side of onions, tomatoes or cabbage.

Moi Moi

Moi moi as we know is made by blending peeled beans, spices, onions, peppers, and palm oil to form a batter, which is then steamed in individual portions, typically in banana leaves or moi moi leaves. Even though beans can be easily sourced abroad, the leaves are not so easy to find. As we all know, the leaf moi moi is the real deal.

Ofada rice is usually prepared with a blend of local green and red habanero peppers. This sauce, which is made with a blend of spices, onions, and bleached palm oil, is served with Ofada rice to add flavor and aroma.
