Hmm…my delicious Yam Cake. It has been awhile since I indulge myself into doing something so tedious. For the last one year, I have spent most of my afternoon taking naps (while pregnant with my twins) and then the past 6 months taking care of them.
Since they started solid, I hope the food in their tummy could last longer, therefore me having more time to spend in the kitchen. Yam cake is not very difficult to make, but it requires a lot of time. I learned this from Aunty Ma, QQ’s ex-nanny and she makes really nice Yam Cake.
Ingredients :
1 yam, cubed, 5 cloves garlics
(A) Mix Well 1 packet blended rice flour, 2 tbsp tapioca flour
Water Seasoning – salt, 5 spieces powder, sugar to taste
Garnishing – shallot crisp, dried prawns crips
Method
1. Heat oil and sauté shallots and dried prawns (separately) till crisp. Dish out and set aside.
2. Saute garlic with remaining oil, add in yam and stir-fry till fragrant.
3. Mix in water and bring to boil.
4. Add in mixture (A), cook batter becomes thick.
5. Pour out batter into a greased tray to steam (30minutes).
6. Once yam cake is cooled, add garnishing and serve with your favourite sauce (I use sweet black sauce from the market).
*Burp* I think I better take out my english saddles before they rot in my store and start riding and exercise again in order to loose all the weight I have gained.
