Sauté pounded Sarawak dried prawn with minced pork meat.  Add in diced yam, simmer till softened.  Make it extra salty. 

Cook rice with half amount of water than normal.  When the rice is almost cook, mix in the cooked yam, and continue cooking till the rice is completely cooked.

Note : If the water is too much, the yam rice may ended up soggy & sticky.  Otherwise it will be just nice  . … not too dry, not too damp …  nice granules of rice grains

Braised Yam with Minced Pork 芋头烩肉

Yam is the corm root of Calocasia esculenta.  It is also known as Cocoyam, Taro, Keladi (Malay), 芋头 (Mandarin).

The plant is inedible when raw and considered toxic due to the presence of calcium oxalate.  The toxin is minimized by cooking, or soaked in cold water overnight.  Calcium oxalate is highly insoluble and contributes to kidney stones, gout, or rheumatoid arthritis.

A common yam dishes I loved is Braised Yam with Minced Pork, ( or alternatively boneless chicken meat ).

It’s an easy-to-prepare dish, simply simmer cubed yam with sautéed minced pork and dried prawns.  A little bit of black pepper powder enhanced the flavour evenmore.  It is starchy, sweet with unique taste.
