15 Minutes

2 Servings

Introduction

Wara is made from soya beans and soya milk. It's made by soaking the soya beans for a minimum of 2 +hours hours. After blending we strain into a cloth ( we usually do it outside). After extracting the liquid we boil it in a pot and then add lemon juice then it starts to coagulate. The lemon helps wara to come together. Filter hot liquid then you can add onions, peppers or spices which we do then it can be fried and eaten with Nigerian stew or coated in eggs and fried. Frying is the most popular way we eat Wara in Nigeria x
