Home made yam cakes are delicious and not oily... and you can have lots of yams and mushrooms in your cakes which are very flavorful and really yummy. I used to prepare these lovely yam cakes for my late Grandma who loved yam and all type of yam dishes... and it was always a pure joy to see her enjoy food that she loved. :)
Here’s my humble recipe... hope you try it! It is broken into 2 parts... this post gives the raw ingredients and preparations, and the next one, the cooking method and the final products.
The main ingredients used: yam 芋头 (1 medium size), dried mushrooms 香菇 (15 pieces), dried shrimps 虾米 (200g), Chinese sausage XO手工加瘦腊肠 (150g), rice flour 水磨占米粉 (600g), sago flour 茨粉 (50g), water (2 litres), shallots 葱头 and garlic 蒜头. For the key ingredients, please see Picture below:
The preparations... please refer to the pictures below for the steps:
(a) Peel yam, wash and cut into thin strips.
(b) Soak dried shrimps in hot water, rinse and drain.
(c) Soak dried mushrooms in hot water, drain and slice thinly.
(d) Remove the membrane of the sausages, wash and cut into thin strips.
(e) Peel garlic cloves and chop finely.
(f) Peel shallots and cut thinly.
(g) Sieve rice flour and sago flour, mix with water and ensure that all the flour “dissolves” and there are no lumps of flour in the mixture.
(h) Fry shallots in oil till golden brown. Separate the shallots from the oil. Grease the steaming trays with the shallot oil and keep the rest for cooking later on.
