Step 5: Pour your blended/grinded beans paste into a large bowl and add your ground crayfish, stock cubes, salt to taste, whisked eggs, vegetable oil, ( few slice onions and pepper to taste) and stir together, until all the ingredients have been well Incorporated.

Step 6: Slice some hard boiled eggs and set aside.

Step 8: Pour in the beans paste mixture in your aluminum foil pans, or nylons, or cover plastic plates. Drop your fish or meat or chicken and your sliced egg in it and seal the cover of the plates or foil pans.

Step 9: Add about 2 to 3 cups of water in a cooking pot and allow to boil. Grease your moi moi plates/ containers with vegetable oil. If you prefer banana leaves/ Uma leaves, then wash thoroughly and leave to dry out in a sieve.

Step 10: Line the base of the cooking pot with either foil paper or cloth and careful arrange the moi moi in the boiled pot.

Step 11: Add water in the cooking pot simultaneously, like for every 10 minutes in order to prevent the moi moi from burning and cook the moi moi for 40 minutes to 1 hour. To check if the moi moi has done, insert a toothpick into the middle of the moi moi, if the toothpick comes out dry, fairly clean, and without moist, the moi moi is cooked.

Step 12: After the moi moi has done, turn off the heat, bring it down and allow it to cool.
