We recently found that the NTUC supermarket at Hougang One sold peeled yams in vacuum packs of 500 g. This was definitely better as it can be kept in the fridge for a longer time. It will also be easier for me to slice it into smaller pieces as the skin of the yam was already removed.
I used these yam to make a yam paste dessert (orh nee) on Sera's birthday since she liked to eat it so much.

I used these yam to make a yam paste dessert (orh nee) on Sera's birthday since she liked to eat it so much.
Ingredients:
500 g yam (cut into slices)
200 ml of coconut milk (I used the "kara" brand)
150 g of sugar
3 to 4 pandan leaves (optional)
pinch of salt (optional)
Steps:
1. Put the yam slices (with pandan leaves) on a steamer rack and steam for about 30 min until the yam slices turn soft.
2. Once the yam slices are soft, turn off the fire and mash the yam slices.
3. Add coconut milk, pinch of salt and sugar to the mashed yam.
Previously, I also added some cooking oil and then put the mixture in a slow cooker to cook it further. It needed a a lot of time to cook to the right consistency. This time round, I steamed the above mixture for another 10 to 15 minutes (took less time). I omitted the cooking oil as I didn't really like the taste of it in the yam paste dessert. I also added a bit of water as I found the mixture to be too dry.
It was then ready to be served.
