Steps

45-60 minutes

1

In a bowl, put in the dried ingredients: beans flour, dried pepper, salt, and crayfish.
2

Heat up oil in a pan. Sauté the onions, fresh pepper, and Gino paste. Season with your preferred bullion cube (I used Knorr chicken). Then set aside.
3

Gradually add water to the bowl of dried ingredients and stir in a clockwise/unidirection until you're satisfied with the consistency.
4

Pour in the sautéed sauce and mix it into the batter.
5

Taste the batter to adjust seasoning.
6

Heat up water in a pot. Leave it to boil.
7

Scoop the batter into moi-moi plates. Top it up with the boiled eggs. (Use your preferred protein—deboned boiled fish, shredded chicken, minced meat).
8

Seal the plates with plastic(white nylon) and cover it with the lid.
9

Gently place the plates in the boiling water on medium heat.
10

Cover the pot tight and allow it to cook for 45-50 minutes.
11

If not fully cooked, top up more water and increase cooking time.
12

Turn off the heat and bring down the pot. (PEEP THE MOIMOI PLATE)

Serve with rice, custard, pap/akamu, oats, soft bread loaf, or serve alone.
