 Wash, peel and roll-cut the
yams into pieces. Soak in boiling
hot water and remove immediately.
- Heat the oil in a wok over medium
heat to about 250oF(120oC),
or until small bubbles appear
around a piece of green leaf tossed
into the oil. Add the yams and
deep-fry until cooked or brown.
- Pour all but 2 tbsp of the oil
out of the wok. Turn the heat
to low and add the sugar, stirring
constantly until it dissolves.
Cook until the syrup caramelises
and turns light brown. Immediately
add the yams and remove wok from
the heat. Quickly toss the yam
pieces so they are well-coated
with the syrup, which will spin
a thread. Place on a plate and
serve immediately. Dip each piece
in cold water to cool it enough
to eat.
