2. Add a few drops of white vinegar or lemon juice in a large basin of clean water, then add the cut yam at a speed and wash twice.

3. Take out the washed yam and place it on a plate. Sprinkle a little osmanthus and sugar on each layer or two of yam. Put it in the steamer after the water is heated, cover and steam for 15 minutes.

Tips:

A. Fresh yam has a strong antioxidant effect. It contains enzyme components, which can cause enzymatic browning and blackening in contact with oxygen. The same phenomenon can also occur on potatoes, eggplants, lotus roots, apples, and bananas. Using a metal knife to cut yam will produce oxidation, which can cause the yam to turn black, so it is best to use a bamboo knife or a plastic knife when cutting yam. Although not using a metal knife for slicing may slow down the oxidation of the slicing, if you use other knives that are not sharp, the cut surface of the epidermis will be rubbed by the blade many times, which will accelerate the oxidation. In other words, the speed of your knife cutting or the amount of friction will cause some to be black, and some are still white. Therefore, I personally suggest that you don't need to be too entangled in the weapon, you can shift the focus to the next steps.



B. Quickly soak the cut yam in cold water with vinegar or lemon juice, and then remove the decanted water when cooking, so that the yam will not turn black even if it is not eaten right away.



C Be careful not to add too much vinegar to affect the taste, a small amount can be effective. For example, put a spoon of white vinegar in a basin of cold water.



D The yam does not need to be soaked for a long time. After being soaked in vinegar water, the water can be poured out, and the yam can be used after two times with clear water.



E Honey will lose nutrients when exposed to high temperatures, so just pour it on before eating.



F Yam has the difference between waxy and crispy, just ask the owner when buying. This dish is suitable for using the kind of yam from Miannuo.
