Soya usually comes in the form of beef and, sometimes, goat meat. The key to perfect Soya lies in the way to season pieces of tender meat with a host of peppery spices before putting them on sticks and grilling over a charcoal fire. In Cameroon, the Hausen people are recognized as some of the best Soya vendors.

What is Soya & Suya?
Soya/suya is typically served with a powdery hot and spicy mixture which is made with cayenne pepper, ground ginger, ground garlic, onion powder, salt, and Maggi. It is the signature spice blend of the Hausa men who typically sell the meat. However, I served this one with some freshly made pepper sauce because it is equally as delicious!
