Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Yam 250g
  • Potato Starch 3 tbsp

Seasonings

  • [A] Vinegar 1 tsp
  • [A] Salt a pinch
  • [B] Mayonnaise 1 tbsp
  • [B] Mentaiko Paste 1/2 tsp
  • [B] Soy Sauce 1/2 tsp
  • [C] Coarsely Ground Black Pepper
  • [C] Dried Parsley

Steps

  1. Wash and peel 250g of yam. [Pro Tip:] Using paper towels makes it less slippery and helps remove sliminess.
  2. Cut the peeled yam into 3cm sticks.
  3. Gently toss the cut yam with 1 tsp of vinegar and a pinch of salt, ensuring it coats evenly.
  4. Add 3 tbsp of potato starch to the yam, seal the bag, inflate it with air, and shake well to coat thoroughly.
  5. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat and arrange the potato starch-coated yam pieces with space between them. [Pro Tip:] Arrange the yam with space to prevent sticking.
  6. Once browned and firm, flip the yam and cook until browned on all sides.
  7. When the yam is browned and the coating has set, transfer it to a bowl.
  8. To the bowl with the cooked yam, add 1 tbsp of mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp of mentaiko paste, and 1/2 tsp of soy sauce. Mix well. [Pro Tip:] Adjust the mentaiko paste if you feel the flavor is too mild.
  9. Once the yam and sauce are well combined, transfer to a serving plate.
  10. Sprinkle coarsely ground black pepper and dried parsley over the plated yam, if desired. [Pro Tip:] Toss with the sauce immediately after cooking and serve promptly to enjoy the crispy exterior.
