  4. Place a saucepan or pot over a medium-high heat and add palm oil or vegetable oil (whichever one you're using).

  5. Add sliced onions and the ground crayfish and fry until it releases fragrant. If you're using Iru (rinse with water) add it now (i didn't use it) and continue to fry the process takes about 4 minutes.

  6. Add blended pepper and fry until the content reduces, add the dried fish and shrimps (or any protein you're using). Stir and add seasoning cube and salt, continue to stir so it doesn't burn, the process takes about 6-7 minutes because there was no water in the pepper, if you have some liquid in the blended pepper mixture you might want to drain it (it can be used in another cooking) or you just fry until it reduces.
