Yam Cake (Or Kuih) – Steamed cake made from yam pieces, dried prawns and rice flour, and usually served with a chilli dipping sauce. Whenever I go home to Malaysia, I would always stuff myself crazy with all sorts of kuih (local sweet or savory cake). One of my favorite is or kuih, or yam cake made of yam (in the US, yam is referred as taro).
Add in yam cubes and fry till about brown. Then, add seasonings and stir to combine. In a bowl, mix rice flour, wheat starch, all-purpose flour, tapioca flour and water. Stir until a smooth and runny batter is formed. Using a strainer, add the batter into the wok slowly.
Cut the yam into chunks. Steam until soft (for 10 to 15 mins). Mix in the rice and green pea flour and water to form a smooth, thick batter. Set aside. Heat up oil in a clean wok to sauté the garlic until fragrant. Add five-spices powder, salt and pepper. Lower heat and add in the yam and flour mixture. Stir until batter is well mixed.
