How to choose good purple yam

How to make Fried sticky rice cake with purple yam filling
-
Prepare purple yam
First, peel the purple yam and wash it clean. Then, cut the yam into several pieces and steam it until cooked.
Next, put the yam in a bowl and use a fork to mash it until smooth.
Tip: Mashing the yam while it is still hot will help it become smoother and easier to mash. -
Prepare the purple yam filling
Place a pan on the stove, add the mashed purple yam, 50g of sugar, 50ml of coconut milk, and 10ml of coconut oil.
Cook the purple yam filling on low heat until it becomes soft and the pan is dry.
Tip: Stir the filling quickly and continuously to prevent it from burning. -
Mixing and kneading the dough
Add 200g of glutinous rice flour, 50g of rice flour, and 120ml of warm water into a bowl, then use your hands to knead until the dough forms a smooth and pliable ball that doesn’t stick to your hands.
Tip: It is recommended to knead the dough by hand to check its consistency. If the dough is too dry, add a little warm water; if the dough is too wet, add a little more flour and continue kneading. -
Shaping and steaming the cake
Divide the dough for the cake and the sweet potato filling into several equal parts and roll them into balls.
Next, use your hands to flatten the dough, place the sweet potato filling in the center, pinch the edges together, roll it into a ball, and flatten it.
Place the cakes in a steamer, then place the steamer over a pot of boiling water, cover tightly, and steam for about 20 minutes.
When the cakes are done, sprinkle a little black sesame on top and remove them from the steamer.
-
Fry the cake
Place a pan on the stove with a little cooking oil; when the oil is hot, add the cakes and fry until both sides are golden and crispy.
-
Final product
The glutinous rice cake with purple sweet potato filling has an outer layer that is both crispy and soft, lightly fragrant with sesame, along with a sweet and creamy sweet potato filling, extremely delicious.

-
Steam the taro
Peel the taro, wash it clean, and cut it into round slices of moderate thickness. Then steam it for about 10 – 15 minutes.
Once the taro is steamed, take it out and add 5 tablespoons of condensed milk, then use a spoon to mash the taro until it and the condensed milk are well combined without any lumps of taro.
-
Mixing the dough
You prepare a large bowl, add 1 cup of hot water and 3 tablespoons of sugar, and stir well until the sugar dissolves. Then continue to add 2 cups of glutinous rice flour to the mixture you just prepared and use a whisk to mix and knead the dough to form a mass.
Note: To make the dough smoother and chewier, you take a small amount of the mixed dough to boil until cooked, then take it out and put it back into the flour mixture, then continue to mix evenly until the dough mixture is softer, smoother, and more elastic, without breaking. -
Shaping the cakes
Once the dough and filling are prepared, you divide it into small pieces of dough, with the dough being larger than the filling. Then, shape the cakes one by one until all the dough is used. You can add cheese to the filling to make the cakes richer.
-
Frying the Cake
After shaping the cake, place it in a pan with a little oil, frying on low heat for about 10 minutes on each side until the cake’s crust is golden and crispy. Continue frying until all the cakes are done.
-
Final Product
After frying, the taro sticky rice cake has a golden crispy exterior, with a soft and chewy interior, and a rich, fragrant filling that carries the aroma of taro. Adding cheese enhances the creaminess.
