Boil water in a large pot over high heat.

Gradually add maize flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously.

Reduce heat to medium and cook until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

Continue stirring until the nshima pulls away from the sides of the pot, about 5 minutes more.

Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.

Prepare dried fish by rinsing and soaking in water for 30 minutes.

Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Sauté chopped onions until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add chopped tomatoes, green peppers, garlic, and ginger; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the soaked dried fish to the skillet and stir to combine.

Season with salt and pepper sauce to taste; cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Serve nshima with the dried fish mixture on the side, garnished with fresh greens.
