Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Yam (Taro), is such a versatile tuber for making delicious food. You can steam, boil, mashed, deep fry or pan fry to create savoury meals and desserts when combined with other ingredients. This yam rice recipe is one of many yam dishes that you can easily prepare. I prefer to cut the yam into chunky pieces to get its full flavour but you can always cut into smaller cubes.
