Grind or pound your sliced Okazi/Afang leaves. Most sellers in the market might have a grinding machine to help you grind it. Alternatively, you could grind it at home with your blender and a small quantity of water. Grinding the Afang leaves turns the leaves into a pulp which you can put into a plate, ready for food preparation.
Grind your pepper and crayfish and chop your onions too.
Wash your periwinkle with salt and water in a bowl to wash away any dirt or debris that might be on it. You can wash up to three or four times for best results.
Preparation of afang soup
Boil your well-seasoned assorted meat. When the meat is soft, add the dry fish into the pot of meat and boil for another 5 minutes.
Add your palm oil, followed by the ground crayfish, and pepper. Once the mixture starts to boil, add your ground Afang (okazi) leaves and sliced water leaves. If you wish to use periwinkle for the soup, this is the right moment to add it to the soup.
When the Afang leaves have softened, and you do not have much water in your pot anymore, add salt and seasoning to taste.
Allow to simmer for 5 minutes and Your Afang Soup is ready
