EDIKAIKONG is a Nigerian dish made from a variety of indigenous leafy green vegetables. The dish, literally translated, means ‘Pumpkin and Waterleaf Soup,’ and its native to the South Eastern part of Nigeria, more specifically, the people of Calabar state in that region.
Edikaikong is an incredibly rich vegetable soup as it involves the use of more than two vegetables. Typically, it is made with just Ugu (Pumpkin leaves) and Waterleaves. however. In addition to it being rich, it is also a very labor intensive soup to make. It’s one of those soups that you make for special occasions or once a month for yourself.
From the way the name sounds, it might seem like a really complicated dish to make, but it really isn’t. If you know how to make regular vegetable soup, Efo-riro then you should be fine with this.
Its quite nutritious as well because of the vitamin richness in the vegetables. it can upset the stomach sometimes, but the excess quantity of palm oil it absorbed helps to neutralize the purgative content in the waterleaves.
