In a pot, heat palm oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

Incorporate the meat and fish, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Add the chopped Eru leaves and ground crayfish to the pot; stir well to combine.

Season with salt, pepper, and seasoning cubes; simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Serve the waterfufu alongside the Eru, allowing diners to dip and enjoy.
