Peel the cocoyams (Malanga) thoroughly.

Wash the cocoyams to remove any itchiness, using a spoon if necessary.

Juice the cocoyams using a juicer, blender, or food processor until slightly coarse, not 100% smooth.

Combine the juiced cocoyams with the liquid from the juicer.

Add palm oil, salt, and a generous amount of crayfish to the mixture.

Add seasoning powder and spinach (or cocoyam leaves) to the mixture.

Prepare the steaming pot by creating steam with a rack, corn cup, or plantain peelings at the bottom.

Line aluminum foil with parchment paper to prevent direct cooking on the foil.

Place a portion of the cocoyam mixture onto the parchment paper, add smoked fish, and seal the ends tightly.

Transfer the wrapped cocoyam parcels into the pot, cover, and cook on low heat for 1 hour, checking periodically and adding water if needed.

After 1 hour, check the cocoyam parcels to ensure they are cooked to perfection.
