Yam Paste Dessert (Orh Nee)

Ahh.. that dessert we all look forward to during chinese wedding dinners. Yam paste dessert, or Orh Nee, is a traditional Teochew dessert with yam as the main ingredient.

Many recipes call for pumpkin as an ingredient in it, but I cook mine with just pure yam. If you prefer to add pumpkin, you can too as well. Preparation of this dessert usually takes very long as one will have to steam the yam till soft and then mash it. Using the Thermomix, you can get your yam paste dessert in just 25 mins!

Ingredients:
400 g yam
