I'm not following a precise recipe for this, just doing it by eye, but in case you want a list of ingredients (sans quantities), here's what I used:
Dried red beans, soaked and peeled
Tomatoes
Onions
Hot pepper (normally, fresh scotch bonnet peppers, but I used fried chilli flakes in oil)
Vegetable oil (mine was combined with the chillies)
Stock cubes
Dried crayfish (if you can't find this, you could use shrimp paste or something like that)
Boiled egg
Cooked mackerel
Water
The leaves came from this eBay seller: www.ebay.co.uk/usr/kenneth2620?_trksid=p2047675.l2…

You did everything right. You are the best.
-
The most versatile YouTuber I ever known.
-
This man is so wholesome, truly this is what the Internet should be used for
-
I think you'd enjoy the process of making kimchi.
-
Heh ... In north Germany "Moin Moin" is a greeting. "Morning morning" ... but used at any time of day and night.
-
You got it perfectly.
-
When the pandemic is over (whenever that happens, or whatever it may mean), it would be seriously awesome to see Mike and Babatunde meet in person and talk about their exchanges and their long-distance friendship.
-
Babatunde is a proper lad, always gotta like his videos
-
Atomic Shrimp opens package of instant Moin Moin Babatunde's ancestors: I sense a great disturbance in the Force
-
Ah yes. Arguably the most random man on YT is back.
-
Mike, one thing I observed in Babatunde's method of remove the husk is he recycles the water he used but keeping a cup under the collander. It was so nice to see him conserve water in that way.
-
so i open youtube and see “atomic shrimp - 12 seconds ago” i forgot how much i love this channel thank you youtube recommended
-
This reminds me so incredibly much of 2010 Youtube <3 Just pure creation, no bullshit!
-
If you are still interested in a substitute for those leaves I will suggest using dried husks/ears of corn (the ones that are around it) that dish looks a lot like mexican tamales.
-
Haven't finished the video, but I very much appreciate how genuine your content is. I feel your variety content is great, I came for the scam baiting but not I look forward to everything else as well. Keep up the good work
-
I love the randomness of this channel
-
I think you may need to soaking the beans a little longer and then see if the skin come off easier.

Sorry I’m super late on my comment for this video but hi Atomic Shrimp, first off I love your videos! Secondly, I’m a Nigerian American and I love moin moin so here’s a few tips when you’re making it: 1. To make the peeling process easier, just rinse the beans briefly and then drop them into a blender and pulse! (No lengthy soaking required, I promise!) By pulsing the beans in the blender you agitate them enough to remove the skin, but not enough to break them apart. 2. In regards to finding something else to cook the moin moin in, use aluminum foil, and almost fold it into a little square package with the top open. Then spoon the bean mixture in and roll it closed!

Mum says you did very well, and much better than me😆! She'd love to send you some ingredients if you get in touch. You're right about the box mix too, I bought it in Tesco and was unimpressed.

I'm a Nigerian who loves watching your scam baiting videos (well done for dealing with those people); and I randomly came across this, well done!
