Ogbono and Garden Egg Stir-fry with Crayfish
Yes, keto as served. About 8g net carbs per serving, lower than 5 in 10 Nigerian dishes.
What it is
A unique stir-fry featuring ground ogbono seeds (used for its mucilaginous texture and flavor, not as a thickener here) cooked down with chopped garden eggs, spicy peppers, and a generous amount of crayfish for a rich, earthy flavor. A less common preparation than ogbono soup.
Key ingredients
Ground ogbono seeds, garden eggs (chopped), onions, habanero peppers, palm oil, crayfish, seasoning cubes, salt.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no other carb-based thickeners (like cocoyam or yam flour) are added. Request a higher ratio of garden egg to onions.
Watch out for
Overuse of seasoning cubes with sugar. Excessive onions/peppers, increasing carb content.
