Set a pot with a tight fitting lid on fire, add in the palm oil and bleach the oil for 5-7 minutes. Just until the oil changes to a lighter color

It will definitely get smoky, so leave the pot covered throughout the bleaching process. (you'll have to open up the kitchen doors and windows to make room for air. Open the pot and leave outside until all the smoke is gone)

Wash and chop up the remaining onions. Also remember to wash, season and cook the meat, then set aside
6

Return the oil back to high heat, add in the chopped onions and allow fry for 1 minute
7

Boil the eggs for 5minutes and set aside
8

Add in the iru(fermented locust beans) or dawadawa and fry for another 1 minute
9

Now Add in the blended peppers and fry until the water dries up.
10

Pour in the already boiled meats and stock and cook till the stock reduces and oil floats on top.
11

Add the crayfish, salt and seasoning cubes. Stir to combine well. (don't forget to taste for salt)☝️
12

Decrease the heat to low/medium, cook the sauce until oil floats to the top.
13

Add the eggs (remove from shell) and cook for 5 mins and your Ofada sauce is ready
