Recently, I fell in love with yam. Because of its high health ingredients, it has been regarded as an inexpensive and inexpensive food for replenishing deficiency since ancient times. It can be used as a staple grain, a vegetable, and can also be made into snacks such as candied gourd. Yam supplements without stagnation, is not hot or dry, can nourish the spleen qi and nourish the stomach yin, and is often used in combination with yam in many anti-aging prescriptions.
The benefits of yam include strengthening the spleen and stomach, helping digestion, nourishing the kidney and essence, nourishing the kidney and essence, lowering blood sugar, prolonging life, and resisting liver coma. However, yam and kansui should not be eaten together; nor should they be taken with alkaline drugs.
Yam is suitable for patients with diabetes, abdominal distension, post-illness weakness, chronic nephritis patients, and long-term diarrhea. Yam has the effect of astringent withdrawal, so it is not suitable for people with dry stools; in addition, yam should not be eaten for those with evil spirits.
Tomato and yam paste
Steps for Tomato and yam paste
1
Peel and wash the yam. If you don't use it for the time being, you can soak it in salt water, otherwise it will oxidize. After peeling the yam, if your hands get itchy, don't touch it everywhere. Just wash your hands with vinegar water. This photo was a little poorly taken and its color changed, haha.
2
Boil over medium heat for 20 minutes, or steam for 30 minutes, poke with chopsticks, and you can easily poke open. Then press it into mud. Because it is cooked very well, it is easy to press. Press it for a while, there are still obvious fibers at first, but the more you press it, the more it looks like mashed potatoes.

Finally, plate and drizzle with ketchup. (I ate leftovers from KFC yesterday, haha)

Be sure to eat it while it's hot. If you're still craving rice, you can layer rice underneath the yam puree. Skip the ketchup, pour some soy sauce over the yam instead, and it becomes a Japanese-style yam rice bowl. It's a very simple weight-loss meal for students or office workers. It is honestly ridiculously easy to make. No oil, no salt, and very healthy. After eating too much greasy and salty food, eating this feels very soothing. You can also have it as a snack. Kids love it too. This is my second time posting; I hope to get some responses this time, hehe.
