Ofe Ujuju is a local dish from the south-eastern part of Nigeria. The soup is popular among the Ika and Agbor people of Delta State.[1]
The soup is made with ujuju leaves (Myrianthus arboreus,[2] commonly known as "monkey fruit"), meats, fish, black pepper and seasoning cubes.[3]
It is served with eba, fufu, Semovita (a glutinous flour derived from semolina wheat), and pounded yam.[3]
