Yam Preparation
Boil the Yam
Peel the yam and cut it into thick slices. Place the yam slices in a large pot.
Add Water and Salt
Pour in 4 cups of water and add 1 tsp of salt. Make sure the water covers the yam slices.
Cook the Yam
Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the yam is tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain and Press
Once cooked, drain the yam slices and let them cool for a few minutes. Using a flat surface or a clean plate, press the yam slices down until flattened.

In a frying pan, heat 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add Peppers and Salt

Add 2 tablespoons of ground crayfish and the smoked fish (if using). Mix well and cook for another 3-5 minutes until all ingredients are well combined.
