What is this? I don’t know the name of this product. It is very delectable. It is purple yam wrapped with a “net wrapper” made of rice vermicelli.
I got them from Friendly Vegetarian Food Supplier and they told me it Chinese Yam or “Purple Yam” (紫山芋 / Dioscoreae) and you deep-fried it. The packet didn’t come with any information related to this product, so let called it Purple Yam Roll or Dioscoreae Roll!
How to cook this? You can brush some olive oil on it and bake/toast it, for a healthier choice. Alternatively, deep-fried it which is nicer.

ReplyDeleteYou are right, I can't get it from the market too. Still wondering where to get it. Not sure, can request supermarket to sell this product.
Cheers :)
Purple yams can be found at Chinese, Filipino, or Japanese markets. Good Luck!

ReplyDeleteIf you know any place in Singapore that I can get them, do let me know the location & address. I would like to get some to make dessert.
