Steps

1
Blend the yellow and red scotch bonnet peppers with onions and crayfish.

Pour the blended mixture into the banga extract, cover, and boil for 5 minutes.
3
Add the banga spice and pepper soup spice to the boiling extract.

Add the Gino peppered seasoning cubes and boil for 2 minutes.

For the accompanying sauce, combine the tomatoes and peppers. The source does not specify the sauce preparation or cooking method.
7
Add smoked fish and boiled eggs to the sauce, then sprinkle curry leaves over it; scent leaves may be used instead.
8
After the rice has cooked for about 10 minutes, lift and turn it. Top with chopped onions and pepper, then leave it for 1 extra minute.

10
Dish out the rice and serve with the sauce and plantain.

Notes

The source does not provide quantities for most ingredients, the rice cooking duration beyond the stated checkpoints, or a clear method for preparing the sauce and plantain. The transcript says the creator used four cups of rice and three seasoning cubes. The creator mentions smoked stockfish as something they wished they had added, so it is an optional suggestion rather than a core listed ingredient.
