The name of this dish is Ugari.

Ugari is a staple food in several countries in East and Southern Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, and others.

The main ingredient used to make Ugali is a dense corn paste, sometimes replaced with tapioca flour.

The cooked ugali is a large, freshly boiled boxy brick with a thick texture, and because the main ingredient is sweet corn, the ugari tastes very crispy and delicious.

As a staple food, the Ugali is very versatile and can be found in almost any kind of cuisine, because it can be paired with any kind of cuisine.

It is as versatile as Chinese white rice, and it is full of flavor when paired with stewed meat and stews.

In Kenya, it is customary to eat ugari with other dishes, such as stew, grilled meat or vegetables.

Chen Er bought some ingredients from the guide, including cornmeal, red beans, cabbage, beef, etc.

"Let's make this Kenyan staple today, Ugari."

Although the essence of Ugali is just a ball of cornmeal batter, it is not easy to make.

One of the most important things about making a Ugali is getting the heat right.

To cook the cornmeal into a mush, you also need to make sure that the cornmeal solidifies into a lump and is sticky and not too dry.

Chen Er mixed the cornmeal and water into a paste, then put an iron pot with a round bottom on the fire pit, and waited for the pot to heat up, but he was not in a hurry to pour the corn paste into the pot.

Instead, brush a thin layer of olive oil on the bottom of the pot and wait for the aroma of the oil to come out.

Then scoop a spoonful of corn paste into the pot with a spoon, and pour it evenly in the pot so that the pot is dipped in a circle of corn paste first.

When the corn paste in the circle had solidified a little, Chen Er poured all the rest of the corn paste into the pot.

"There is a corn paste in the pot first, so that it is equivalent to putting a layer of heat insulation in the pot now, which can not only ensure that the heat is dissipated, but also ensure that the temperature is not too high."

"You don't lose too much water in the corn paste."

Chen Er was talking to everyone as he stirred the corn paste in the pot with a spoon.

After a while, the corn paste in the pot became more and more viscous, almost showing a semi-solid state.

At this time, Chen Er took the iron pot away, then took out a stainless steel square box, scooped out the corn paste in the pot, and poured it into the square box.

Finally, use a spoon to smooth out the surface.

Chen Erdao, "Just let it sit for twenty minutes." ”

In these twenty minutes, Chen Er began to prepare other dishes, which could be eaten with Ugali later.

In Kenya, when locals eat Ugalari, vegetables and meat are the essential side dishes.

Among them, there are many varieties of vegetables used, and what vegetables to use depends on personal preference.

But they all use the same dish, which is red beans.

In the eyes of Kenyans, one of the best pairings of Ugali is red beans.

The red beans in Kenya are all huge, and the largest red beans are the size of a thumb's fingernail. It tastes very sweet and delicious.

Kenyans are accustomed to boiling red beans in water and eating them directly with the ugari without any condiments in between.

Because of Kenya's geography and climate, the local red beans grow very well, taste sweet, and do not need to add other condiments.

Chen Er boiled the red beans in water, scooped them up, drained the water, and put some on each of the three plates.

Then tear the blanched cabbage by hand and place it next to the red beans.

"Another beef needs to be cooked."

Most of the way Kenyans eat beef is barbecue, and it is rarely cooked.

However, due to the peculiarities of Kenya's history, Western food here is also very authentic, so sometimes, Kenyans also use steak to serve with ugari.

In modern times, the large number of Asian residents has brought a large number of Indian, Pakistani and other subcontinent flavors.

So in Kenya, sometimes, the local residents will use beef curry to pair with ugari.

Chen Er cuts the washed beef into small pieces.

"So, today we're going to use beef curry with Ugali."

Because curry is relatively easy to make, as long as you have curry paste, everything is easy to do.

Chen Er took out a few packets of curry paste from his backpack.

Shen Yinian and Gou Xuefang, who had been watching Chen Er and drooling silently, were immediately very vigilant when they saw Chen Er take out the curry sauce from his backpack.

Almost in unison, he asked Chen Er, "Your curry sauce is normal, isn't it?" ”

Chen Er didn't expect that the previous eighteen forbidden curries would actually leave such a big psychological shadow on the two of them.

And also without them taking a bite.

Chen Er shook his head, and said as a matter of course, "Of course it's not the eighteen forbidden curry, that curry sauce is an imported product no matter how you say it, and it's more expensive......"

Saying that, Chen Er raised the pack of curry sauce in his hand and said, "The one I bought is locally produced in Kenya, and it is very cheap." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yinian and Gou Xue were completely relieved.

As long as it's not that perverted and spicy eighteen forbidden curry, everything is easy to say.

But fans off-screen couldn't help but start complaining about Chen Er.

"Sure enough, with Chen Lao's wet and slamming character, you won't buy too many things that are too expensive......"

"But that eighteen forbidden curry is not expensive......"

"Upstairs, what you think is expensive and what Chen Laoshi thinks is expensive shouldn't be the same level......"

"In Chen Laoshi's eyes, the things that need to be spent are expensive!"

"Chen Laoshi: I am like this in your hearts??"

"NO, NO, Chen Laoshi, you are like this!"

Chen Er on the screen couldn't help but sneeze.

"It seems that someone is saying that I am handsome behind my back......"

Gou Xuefang glanced at Chen Er silently, "Fart, sneezing, it's obvious that someone is saying bad things about you behind your back!" ”

Chen Er unusually calmly poured the curry paste and beef into the pot, and then poured the cut side dishes into the pot as well.

He rubbed his nose again and said, "Wrong, the one you said is definitely not suitable for me." ”

Gou Xuefang's eyes stared at the dishes in Chen Er's pot tightly, "For Mao?" Because you are uniquely retarded? ”

Chen Er glanced at Gou Xuefang, "Because I am handsome, you are ugly." ”

Gou Xuefang was stunned at first, and then silently raised two middle fingers at Chen Er.

Tea Egg Invasion of Earth: "I have never seen such a brazen person!" ”

Eat a pound: "Wrong, wrong, it should be said that there are such brazen people in the world." ”

Qingtian: "The two upstairs, I'm with you, you will be blacked out by Chen Laoshi." ”
