STEP 1:
My sister helped me peel the yam, and while she was as it, I prepared the other things for the food, I grinded the crayfish and keep the beans on fire.
STEP 2:
I washed the yam properly, like two times to remove the extra yam peel that is always found even after peeling is completed, after that I also keep the yam on fire in a different burner.
STEP 3:
Few minutes later the beans was boiling and already I could see the change of water colour, I brought it down and par-boiled it, then wash it twice again and kept it on fire again.
STEP 4:
About 20 minutes later, I checked on both food, I added salt to my yam, as it was already getting soft, then I added onions to my beans and covered them back.
