Cooking Moin Moin in leaves is a rich traditional method of cooking the special beans delicacy. The leaves add a rich, bold flavor to this beloved Nigerian dish. For newbies, wrapping Moin Moin in leaves might seem so difficult, I know, but it’s easier than you think. In this blog post, I will be walking you through every step of the wrapping process, so you can prepare your Moin Moin in leaves like a pro!
What Leaves Should You Use?
The most commonly used leaves for Moin Moin are ewe eran (Thaumatococcus daniellii leaves), also known as uma leaves. These large, pliable leaves are ideal for folding and can withstand steaming. If you’re using them for the first time, don’t worry – you’ll get the hang of it.

- Wash the leaves thoroughly under running water to remove dirt and sand.
- Dip them briefly in hot water to make them more flexible and prevent tearing. This step also helps to release the natural aroma of the leaves.
- Trim the thick stems at the base of the leaves to make folding easier.
Setting Up Your Steamer
Line the bottom of your pot or steamer with a few large leaves and the thick stems you removed from the back of the leave. This is to prevent the Moin Moin wraps from sticking.
Add a little water to the pot, making sure that it won’t touch the wraps during cooking.

How to Wrap Moin Moin in Leaves
Here’s where we are going exactly!
Step 1: First of all, place 2 leaves on top of each other, fold them into a cone. The pointed tip of the cone should be at the bottom, and the opening should form a wide “mouth.” Ensure the edges overlap slightly to avoid leaks.
Step 2: Scoop a ladle of your Moin Moin batter into the cone. Be careful not to overfill – leave enough space for folding. About halfway full is perfect.
Step 3: Fold the top of the leaf down over the opening of the cone. Tuck the sides securely to create a firm wrap. This prevents any batter from spilling out during steaming.
Step 4: Place the wrapped Moin Moin upright in the pot, making sure the folded side is at the bottom to maintain the seal.
Continue wrapping and arranging until all the batter is used.
Steaming the Moin Moin
Cover the Moin Moin with extra leaves to trap the steam and enhance the aroma.
Cook on medium heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Check occasionally to ensure there’s enough water in the pot to keep steaming. Insert a toothpick into one wrap; if it comes out clean, your Moin Moin is ready.

Tips to Note
Don’t worry if your first few wraps are messy. You’ll improve with time.
If a leaf tears, double-wrap it with another leaf to avoid spills.

My girlfriend ended our relationship for seemingly no reason and I came to understand that my financial struggles may have contributed to this, as a healthy relationship is difficult without money. For spellcasting, Lord Meduza is the right person to turn to. My girlfriend left me for another man due to my financial situation, but after connecting with Lord Meduza, he created a spell that not only brought my girlfriend back but also made me a lottery winner of €116 million by providing me with the 6 lucky numbers to play the lottery. My life is incredibly beautiful and I owe my deepest appreciation to Lord Meduza I strongly encourage everyone to reach him for help through his email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com or you Whats_App this number +1 (807) 907-2687 or visit: lordmeduzatemple.com
My husband just woke up and decided our marriage was over. For a few months now, Mark and i have not been going well because he was having an affair with his assistant at work. I loved my husband so much and decided to stay and work on our marriage. In a short time, Mark stopped coming home and his close friend told me he has another apartment where he live with her. I was hurt and went on seeking for help because Mark was different from the man i married 10 years ago. Luckily, i found Dr OGBO who promised to return my husband back to me. He performed a reconciliation spell and he returned back and now we are both happy again with our boys. If you have issues like mine, send Dr OGBO Email psychicogboreading@gmail.com or contact him on Whatsapp +2349057657558
After seeing numerous neurologists, I was given the diagnosis of MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. I was given medication, which helped, but my condition was rapidly deteriorating. Ultimately, I heard about the herbal medicine prepared by Dr Phillip. This treatment has helped greatly with reducing my symptoms, it was even more effective than the prescription drugs I was using. My tremors mysteriously disappeared after the first month of medication, and I was able to walk better. Within 3 months of this treatment most of my symptoms vanished. The herbal medicine is a total game changer for me. I’m surprised more people with MS don’t know about it. This Dr Phillip is a breakthrough.
