Ofe Urioma is another unique and cherished soup in Ika cuisine, originating from the Ika people of Delta State, Nigeria. Known for its deliciously savory taste, Ofe Urioma is prepared using urioma seeds, which gives the soup a delicate flavor.
To make Ofe Urioma, fresh or dried urioma seeds are added to a base of palm oil, along with ingredients like ground crayfish, smoked fish, goat meat, or dried fish. Some cooks may also add local spices and a bit of ogiri (fermented locust beans) to enhance the soup’s depth and aroma.
