Dan wake is a Nigerian dish of boiled dumplings made from cowpea or wheat flour, originating in Niger State and now widespread across the Hausa-speaking regions of northern Nigeria. The dumplings themselves are bland, and are usually served with garnishes such as fried vegetables, eggs and pepper-based seasonings to add flavor.
