The name of this delicacy is Ugari.

Ugalli is a staple food in several countries in East and Southern Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Zambia.

The main ingredient for making ugali is a thick corn paste, which is sometimes replaced by tapioca flour.

Cooked ugali is a large, freshly cooked boxy brick shape with a thick texture. Because the main ingredient is sweet corn, ugali tastes very crispy and delicious.

As a staple food, ugali is very versatile and can be seen in almost any dish, because ugali can be paired with any kind of cuisine.

As versatile as Chinese white rice, it is full of flavor with stewed meat and stewed vegetables.

In Kenya, when local people eat ugali, they are used to pairing ugali with other dishes, such as stewed meat, grilled meat or vegetables.

Chen Er bought some ingredients from the guide, including cornmeal, red beans, cabbage, beef, etc.

"Come and make this Kenyan staple, ugali, today."

Although the essence of ugali is just a ball of cornmeal paste, it is not easy to make.

The most important thing to make Ugalli is to grasp the heat.

Cooking the cornmeal to a mushy state also makes sure that the cornmeal solidifies into lumps and is sticky and not too dry.

Chen Er made cornmeal and water into a paste, then put a round-bottomed iron pot on the fire pit, and poured the corn paste into the pot in no hurry after the pot was heated.

Instead, brush a thin layer of olive oil on the bottom of the pot first, and wait for the aroma of the oil to come out.

Then use a spoon to scoop a spoonful of corn paste into the pot, and pour it evenly in the pot, so that the pot is first dipped in a circle of corn paste.

When the circle of polenta has solidified a little, Chen Er pours all the remaining polenta into the pot.

"Wrap the corn paste around the pot first. In this way, it is equivalent to putting a layer of heat insulation in the pot now, which can not only ensure the heat to dissipate, but also ensure that the temperature will not be too high."

"The water in the corn mush doesn't lose much."

While talking to everyone, Chen Er stirred the corn mush in the pot with a spoon.

After a while, the corn mush in the pot became more and more viscous, almost showing a semi-solid state.

At this time, Chen Er took the iron pot away, and then took out a stainless steel square box, scooped out the corn paste in the pot, and poured it into the square box.

Finally, smooth the surface with a spoon.

Chen Erdao, "Just let it sit for 10 minutes."

During these 10 minutes, Chen Er started to prepare other dishes, which can be eaten with Ugari later.

In Kenya, when locals eat ugali, the essential side dishes are vegetables and meat.

Among them, there are many types of vegetables used, and what vegetables to use depends on personal preference.

But they all use the same vegetable, red beans.

In the eyes of Kenyans, one of the best pairings for Ugalli is red beans.

Kenyan red beans are very big, and the largest red beans are as big as the fingernail of your thumb.It also tastes very sweet and delicious.

Kenyans are used to boil red beans with water, and then eat them directly with ugali, without adding any seasoning in the middle.

Due to Kenya's geographical climate, local red beans grow very well and taste full of sweetness, without the need for additional seasonings.

Chen Er boiled the red beans with water, drained the water, and put some on the three plates.

Then shred the blanched cabbage by hand and put it next to the red beans.

"We need to cook another beef next."

Most of the local Kenyans eat beef by grilling it, and rarely cooking it.

However, due to the particularity of Kenya’s history, the western food here is also very authentic, so sometimes, Kenyans also use steak to match ugali.

In modern times, a large number of Asian residents have brought here a large number of restaurants with Indian, Pakistani and other subcontinent flavors.

So in Kenya, sometimes local residents use beef curry to accompany ugali.

Chen Er cut the washed beef into small pieces.

"So, today we will use beef curry to accompany ugali."

Because curry is relatively simple to make, as long as there is curry paste, everything will be easy to handle.

Chen Er took out several packets of curry paste from his backpack.

Shen Yinian and Gou Xuefang, who had been watching Chen Er and drooling silently, immediately became very vigilant when they saw Chen Er taking out the curry sauce from his backpack.

They asked Chen Er almost in unison, "Is your curry sauce normal?"

Chen Er didn't expect that the previous Eighteen Forbidden Curry would leave such a big psychological shadow on the two of them.

And still without them taking a bite.

Chen Er shook his head and said matter-of-factly, "Of course it's not the [-]-ban curry. That curry paste is an imported product anyway, so it's more expensive..."

Speaking of which, Chen Er raised the bag of curry paste in his hand and said, "The one I bought is locally produced in Kenya, and it is very cheap."

Hearing these words, Shen Yinian and Gou Xue were completely at ease.

As long as it's not that freaking spicy Eighteen Forbidden curry, everything is easy to talk about.

But the fans outside the screen couldn't help but start complaining about Chen Er.

"Sure enough, with Chen Laoshi's stingy character, he won't buy too many things that are too expensive..."

"But that [-]-forbidden curry is not expensive..."

"Upstairs, what you think is expensive is not at the same level as what Chen Laoshi thinks is expensive..."

"In Chen Laoshi's eyes, everything that costs money is expensive!"

"Chen Laoshi: This is what I look like in your hearts??"

"NO, NO, Chen Laoshi, you are always like this!"

Chen Er on the screen couldn't help but sneezed.

"It seems like someone is calling me handsome behind my back..."

Gou Xuefang glanced at Chen Er silently, "Fart, sneezing is obviously someone talking bad about you behind your back!"

Chen Er poured the curry sauce and beef into the pot unusually calmly, and then poured in the chopped side dishes as well.

She rubbed her nose again and said, "Wrong, the one you mentioned is definitely not suitable for me."

Gou Xuefang fixed his eyes on the dishes in Chen Er's pot, "Why? Because you are the only mentally handicapped?"

Chen Er gave Gou Xuefang a look, "Because I am handsome and you are ugly."

Gou Xuefang was stunned for a moment, then silently raised two middle fingers to Chen Er.

Tea eggs invade the earth: "I have never seen such a brazen person!"

He was overwhelmed: "Wrong, wrong, it should be said that there are such brazen people in the world."

Qingtian: "The two of you upstairs, let me talk to you. If you do this, you will be blocked by Chen Laoshi."
