Chinese yam fritters

24th April 2011

Being half-Chinese, daddy loves Chinese dishes. One of which is yam fritters that's usually served in Dim Sum restaurants. In the afternoon today, daddy had his first try at making them. The filling was stir-fried prawns with mushrooms and of course, the outer batter (a dough, rather) consists of steamed and mashed yam mixed with wheat starch and some other ingredients. Since it was our first try, we shaped the fritters into flattened balls instead of the usual triangular shapes served in the restaurants.

Our first attempt at frying them was not that successful whereby most of the fillings came out. With mummy's magic hands in "repairing" the dough, voila! We successfully created yummy-licious crispy yam fritters, just the way daddy likes it!


Hehehe.... Mummy told Wawa Jay about it and she already requests that we make them next time we have our family gathering!
