You can cooked the alupe in medium or high heat, as long as there is enough liquid. For you to know if it is well done, the appearance is in translucent that you can no longer see the white portion of cassava.
What is the best in Alupe, is you don't need to add some toppings or any dip. The original taste of cassava is enough for you to appreciate it.
