- 1 cup danwake flour
- 250 ml water
- 20 ml olive oil
- 1 tsp red pepper
- 1 onion
- 1 seasoning cube
- 2 eggs
- 1 tomato
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 lemon
- salt a pinch
Pour the Danwake flour in a bowl. Add water and thoroughly mix until a soft consistency is achieved. Cover and keep in a warm place for 5 minutes. This allows the mixture to settle and bind.
Place eggs in a pot of boiling water. Add a teaspoon of salt to the water. Boil eggs for 10-12 minutes. Remove eggs and place them in cold water. Peel and slice the eggs.
Half-fill a medium-size pot with water and bring to boiling. Use your fingers to scoop the Danwake dough, in balls and drop into the pot of boiling water. Make as many balls as possible but not too many as to over-spill while cooking).
Cover the pot halfway and allow cooking for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the Danwake balls and place them in cold water to cool for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the cold water and place in a bowl.
Add the olive oil, salt, seasoning cube, salt, and red pepper to the Danwake balls and toss until evenly mixed. Slice the tomatoes, bell pepper, and onions and add to the bowl.
Finally, sprinkle some lemon juice onto the Danwake (optional).
