Ayamase Sauce. Anyway, Ayamase; also known as ofada sauce is mostly served with a side of ofada rice. It is normally cooked with bleached palm oil, green peppers, chili peppers and green tomatoes(if you have any). I have tried cooking this dish before, but I have to say that this particular one was "it" for me.
