How to prepare Egg Sauce

Egg Sauce is prepared with eggs, tomatoes, peppers, onions, vegetable oils and a pinch natural sweetener (Maggi, Knorr, ROYCO, etc)

  Some people add a handful of vegetables and fluted pumpkin (ugu) is still the most popular choice.

Nigeria egg sauce is usually served with yam. That is why sometimes it is called yam sauce. I rarely see people serve with rice. However, sometimes, but not often. It is true that the sauce is delicious however you want it to be served.

It will be easy. If you are new to Nigerian food production and want to start with simple recipes, I suggest you get started here. It takes about six different ingredients, and the preparation time is less than 20 minutes.

2-3 eggs.
2 spoons sliced pepper
Vegetable oil (200ml).
2 cups of sliced fresh tomatoes.
Sliced pepper to taste.
1 cup of sliced onions.
A cube of maggi or knorr.
Salt to taste.
A little Sliced Green Peppers (optional)

There are two ways to do this actually. You can decide to use a lot of tomatoes and only 2 eggs. I used 3 eggs, about two cups of tomato slices, so that more eggs in this recipe. As shown in the previous image.


Use 4 cups of sliced ​​tomatoes with only two eggs; The same measures are taken for preparation.
