Golden yam sticks are a crispy, nutritious snack loved by all ages. Here’s an easy step-by-step guide to making them at home.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium yams (about 500g), peeled
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 egg white (optional for crispiness)
- Pinch of salt
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Prep the Yams: Peel the yams and cut them into uniform sticks (about 0.5cm thick and 8cm long). Soak in cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then pat dry completely.
2. Make the Batter: In a bowl, mix cornstarch, flour, salt, and egg white (if using). Gradually add water to form a thick, smooth batter that coats the yams.
3. Fry the Sticks: Heat oil in a deep pan to 170°C (340°F). Dip each yam stick into the batter, ensuring even coverage, then fry in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. Season (Optional): Toss with a pinch of five-spice powder or cinnamon while hot for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestion: Enjoy as a snack with sweet chili sauce or as a side dish. For a healthier version, bake at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
These golden yam sticks are crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with nutrients—a perfect treat for any occasion!
