On her TikTok page, the young lady, with the username Chrisil Bridget, shared her personal recipe for making Gashit.
Gashit is a colloquial term for the popular Ghanaian snack made by mixing garri with shito, a spicy chilli sauce.
However, the lady's recipe differed slightly from the general method as she listed the step-by-step process.
While carrying out a practical demonstration, she disclosed that back in SHS, she stated that she mixed garri with sardine oil and a generous amount of spicy shito.

She noted that she did not add water, as the presence of the oil and shito provided the right amount of moisture.
Along with her demonstration, she added some flavour enhancers like salt and onions.
"I went with my onions to give them another mix. If you were doing gashit without onions, like, were you really doing gashit? Because trust me, that elevated the whole taste. Like, it would be a 10 out of 10 if you added onions," she said.
According to her, while in SHS, she added sausages and fried eggs as toppings.
This, however, did not sit well with her viewers, as many called her out because students were not allowed to have cooking appliances in their dorms.
She ended the dish with a sprinkle of soybean powder and drizzled it with ketchup and mayonnaise. She concluded the video by reflecting on her life in SHS.
