Fufu is a staple food in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as well as many other African countries. It is made by boiling starchy ingredients such as yams, cassava, or plantains until they are soft, then mashing them into a dense, dough-like consistency. Fufu is usually served with a flavorful soup or stew, which diners scoop up with small pieces of the soft fufu. Fufu is an important part of many traditional meals in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and is widely enjoyed for its filling, comforting texture and versatility.
