Nigeria Moi Moi – Moin moin Recipe</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Moi-moi
 or Moin-Moin is one of the most popular dishes in Nigeria. It’s made 
from pureed beans and served primarily as an accompaniment to breakfast 
porridge. Moi moi can also be served with a side of garri or bread. 
Traditional moi moi is wrapped in Banana or ewe eran leaves.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If
 you live outside Nigeria with no access to the right leaves or just 
looking to achieve some fun shapes, there are no limits to what you can 
use to create fun shapes. Most banking dishes will do just great when 
making moi moi, simply choose the shape you desire, cover with aluminum 
foil after pouring the batter in and place in a large body of water to 
steam.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is a picture of numerous pans that can be used:</div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<b>Note for Oven Baked Moimoi:</b></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Instead
 of steaming the moimoi, you can also bake it in the oven.  Simply place
 the loaf pan in another loaf pan filled with water. Bake covered at 
350F for 45mins. I use cup cake pans for my baked moi moi as pictured 
below.</div>
