This Savoury Yam Cake recipe is from Ah Tze [Awayofmind Bakery House] which I bookmarked to try. Slightly different from my earlier posting Steamed Yam Cake. I realised the quantity is small and lots of yam too. Also wondering how this cake taste like with 5 spice powder added.
Anyway, ...I like this recipe, the yam cake is soft and the yam and 5 spice powder matched well...I served it with my homecooked chilli sauce.
Sorry Ah Tze, I added some extra ingredients because this Yam Cake is for my mum, so must have more 'liao' otherwise she may think I am stingy with the dried prawns, hehehe....
Ingredients
400g yam, peeled and cut into cube
4 shallots, diced
2 tbsp dried prawns, soaked [slightly pounded]
1/2 tsp each of salt, 5 spice powder
1/4 tsp white pepper
100g rice flour
3 tbsp tapioca starch or corn starch
1 tsp salt
550 ml water
400g yam, peeled and cut into cube
4 shallots, diced
2 tbsp dried prawns, soaked [slightly pounded]
1/2 tsp each of salt, 5 spice powder
1/4 tsp white pepper
100g rice flour
3 tbsp tapioca starch or corn starch
1 tsp salt
550 ml water
Garnishes
3 tbsp of dried prawns - washed and slightly pounded - fry with a little oil until fragrant
3 tbsp crispy fried shallots
3 tbsp thinly sliced spring onion
1 red chilli - diced
- Steam the yam cubes for 20 mins. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick wok to fry the shallots until browned. Add dried prawns, stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the steamed yam cubes. Stir fry for another 2 mins. Add salt, five spice powder and pepper, mix and remove from heat.
- Combine rice flour, tapioca flour, salt and water in a pan. Mix until mixture is smooth and free of lumps. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until it thickens. Remove pan from heat, add yam cubes and mix well.
- Transfer the yam cake mixture to a oiled steaming tray. Cover and steam for 25~30 mins. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
- Garnish before serving.
