First, the crayfish are cleaned and blanched to remove any fishy odor, then the spices are fried in oil until fragrant, followed by stir-frying the crayfish. Finally, water is added and the dish is simmered until fully flavored.

The method involves washing and peeling the potatoes, slicing them thinly, and then cooking them by stir-frying, frying, or baking. During cooking, garlic slices and chili peppers are often added to enhance flavor, and salt is used for seasoning at the end.
