Who loves moin moin? I do a lot. I have been having a craving for moin moin for the longest and I want to do just the bean flour one for now.
I made the blended pepper sauce by adding 1/4 cup of water in to my blender.I added 4 cloves of garlic, 1 shallot, 1 red,yellow or orange bell pepper and 1 roma tomato and blend. 1 onion or 3 green onions can be cut in to small pieces and blended too if you do not want to add a shallot.
In a small mixing bowl I added 2 cups of bean flour, 1 pinch each of smoked dried shrimp, boni bonga fish, crayfish, paprika, red chili powder, grated nutmeg, 1 bullion cube crumbled and 3 dashes of maggi or knorr aroma.
I added the blended pepper sauce to the bean flour mixture. If you are adding coconut milk use 1/4 of a cup of coconut milk instead of water while you are making the blended pepper sauce. Mix in to a thick batter and then add these options.
They can be shellfish like 1 can of shrimp, crab, lobster, mussels, clams and oysters. The other canned fish options are 1 can of squid or octopus, crab meat, tuna fish, sardines in oil or tomato sauce, salmon, mackeral, sprats and bullheads. Also you can add 1 can of corned beef to the batter as well.
You can also add 1 piece of dried smoked fish or saltfish that has been soaked overnight and shredded. Oops you can also add 3 tbs of caviar (fish eggs).
I used 1 can of octopus in oil and some smoked salmon along with 1 can of quail eggs that I have rinced and drained. The fish you want to add it along with the oil in the moin moin batter.
I gives it extra flavor plus I added 2 tbs of red palm oil and mixed.
If you want to use fresh quail eggs take 6 of them and boil them for 10 minutes for hard boiled and crack them and peel them under running cold water then crumble in to the moin moin batter and mix if you do not want to use the canned ones.
Pour the moin moin batter in to microwave safe containers and cook in the microwave for 5 to 8 minutes.
By the way, this is moin moin is so yummy and I hope you enjoy this like I do.
