Asian yam, also called Asian sweet potato, is one of the ingredients I can't live without it. Always ready at hand for making literally everything from bread, porridge, to soup and stew. It can even turn into dehydrated yam strips for the most heathy snack. Spelt is also my favorite ancient grain, slightly sweet after long fermentation.

As far as I can remember, my aunt's mother, or uncle's mother-in-law, makes the best yam cake (pardon on the family tree complication, LOL!). It is like I'd died and gone to heaven with every bite. The texture is very smooth with a pack full of flavors, unlike those commercial factory made ones. I tried to replicate her yam cake but no where near her standards.Perhaps, I do prefer my yam cake to have more bite which is why I chose to dice the yam finely rather than puree it. I also added a secret ingredient which adds another funky tone to the flavors. Well, it isn't a secret anymore as I am sharing this recipe with you fine. Dried scallops! I am not sure about this claim, but traditionally a Chinese sausage is usually used. I personally do not like the smell nor the taste of a Chinese sausage tho, which led me to choose an alternative (dried scallops) instead. Little did I know, that alternative is the game changer.I do not know the origins of this cake tho. It is largely available in any Chinese dim sum eateries and rumors have it that every single eatery in Hong Kong has each's unique style of making, some are semi-crunchy and some are, like this recipe, steamed for a period of time. Guess you have to find your own preference of yam cake. Without much delay, let's get started with the recipe.

One of my friend made it and I was really eager to try it out by my self he told me its called Spanish omelette 🙃..it is kinda similar to zege but this one is heavy heavy😋😋Enjoy

3 years ago my daughter and I took a trip to South Korea 🇰🇷 We spent a lot of time tasting different kinds of ‘street food’. Bacon Kimchi Fried Rice was one of our favorite ones. The sourness of the kimchi combined with the crispy bacon is just perfect! 😋#heirloomIf you like my recipes, please follow my Instagram @jenscookingdiary @jenscookdineandtravel

#SandwichedI love sausages so I am constantly looking for different ways to cook different sausages for different dishes and snacks and this sandwich is one of my results and it is delicious. One of my all time favourites. This serves two people if split. I used a homemade hot dog bun but feel free to use store bought.

I love stir-fried yam with butter and soy sauce. I also added my favorite mushrooms.The tip is to cook the yam and mushrooms slowly over low-medium heat. If the heat is high, it will burn easily. Use your choice of mushrooms. For 2 servings. Recipe by Kinakorin

When its winter or rainy season, anyone would crave for spicy, hot food platter. Today’s recipe is one of the recipes, which is loved by everyone and Like me I am sure, you would never get bored of this mouthwatering Manchurian. For healthy eaters may be this is not an ideal healthy dish to have, but on cheat day I would love to take a bite of it. Well, Indo-Chinese Manchurian is one of the popular meals served in any Indian restaurant as an appetizer or side dish. I would love to have this with hot bowl of Veg. Fried Rice or Plain white rice. It’s the perfect combination of variant flavors. The aroma from fried crispy cauliflower and garlic while making gravy, nothing can beat that flavor. At first, I was hesitant to make this at home, as I assumed it may be time consuming but after making this I am sure it will be on my menu list on every occasion.

I created this recipe since I love grated yam potato and was craving it on a cold day.A quick-prep recipe--just mix and bake!Shirodashi (white Japanese soup stock) is best, but you can also use men-tsuyu (Japanese noodle dipping sauce).Adjust the amount (concentration) of shirodashi to taste. For 2 to 3 servings. Recipe by cocoko

I grew up on the East Coast where seafood was always part of the dinner table—and to this day, fish is still one of my go-to proteins. It’s light, nutritious, and ready in under 20 minutes!
