Stewed Yatsugashira Yams
My mother-in-law was preparing this as an osechi dish, and they were really tasty, so I had her teach me the recipe. She taught me to boil them in vinegar diluted in water, then stew them in sugar, salt, and soy sauce. I eyeballed the ingredient amounts, and tried making it myself. It tastes just about as good as she makes it, so I think these amounts will do.
Chopped into large chunks of yam makes it easier to enjoy the distinctively pasty texture of the yams. Use only a small amount of soy sauce, otherwise they will look brown and unappetizing. You can also use Sulawesi potatoes, since there is not much difference in the texture. Recipe by Inabacchi

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the Yatsugashira yam into small pieces, and peel off the skin. It will take a lot of time to peel (although this might just be because I am not used to it). Instead of a peeler, I recommend using a knife that you are more accustomed to peeling with.
- 2
Place the pieces of yam into a pot, add enough vinegar water to cover the yams, and bring to a boil over high heat. Gently boiling for a short while, then drain the yams in a sieve.
- 3
Return the yams to the pot, fill it with water up to half the height of the yams, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil over high heat.
- 4
Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat, add the sugar and salt, and simmer with the lid on.
- 5
After a few minutes, add the soy sauce, and leave covered with the lid until the water content boils down, and it is done.

Stewed Ramen with Yakisoba Noodles Stewed Ramen with Yakisoba Noodles

Shimeji mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and bamboo shoots is good. Chop into pieces so that they cook through.If you simmer yakisoba noodles for too long, they get soggy. As soon as the noodles have loosened, eat up. Recipe by Yoshiji -

I was inspired by the konnyaku in oden. When it sits in the refrigerator after cooking, the liquid soaks in and really makes it delicious, so I wanted to take advantage of that.You can also simmer it in a pot. In that case, heat it over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes.The umeboshi is salty, so adjust the amount of salt depending on the amount of umeboshi you use. Recipe by Raby -
Yummy Sautéed Nagaimo Yam With Cheese Yummy Sautéed Nagaimo Yam With Cheese
My mother made this for me when I used to hate nagaimo yam, and it made me realize how delicious it was for the first time. I've made it now when this regional vegetable is in season.If you slowly pan fry nagaimo yam, it'll be dense and floury on the inside. If you cook it until golden brown, the outside crunch will whet your appetite.Top with bonito flakes instead of cheese for a Japanese spin, or add 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar to the ☆ ingredients to give it a delicious Western spin. For 3 to 5 servings. Recipe by Tamochan -

Creamy and Rich Nagaimo Yam Soup Creamy and Rich Nagaimo Yam Soup
I wanted to enjoy the creamy texture of nagaimo yam in a soup.Finding that a mixture of yam, soy milk and milk produces a cheese-like flavour is a great discovery.- This is tasty as a hot or cold soup. - If it is difficult to blend at Stage 2, add milk. - The nagaimo yam shouldn't be completely smooth. It will taste better if it retains some lumps. Recipe by cafe0305 -

My Basic Stewed Taro Root Tumbles My Basic Stewed Taro Root Tumbles
I have been preparing taro root like this for a long time.If not serving right away, remove from heat while still on the raw side, allowing them to cook with the residual heat, then simmer again right before serving.This will come out light tasting, so adjust the seasoning to suit your taste. I personally like the balance of 2 parts sugar to 1 and 1/2 parts soy sauce. Recipe by Soraten mama
