Cook: Pumpkin Yam Stick

Pumpkin Yam Stick

Crispy and yum!

Inspired by one of my casual meal at a hawker stall sometime back. Cant really remember where though, I just remembered they had this fried shredded yam which tasted good! I improvise and added pumpkin as well ... deep fried them and it is yummy!  Great as a side dish or just to munch.. :)

INGREDIENTS:

(Makes 20-25 pieces)

1. 300g of yam (cut into long, thin stick)

2. 250g of pumpkin* (cut into long, thin stick) 

3. An egg

4. Half a cup of plain flour

5. A pinch of salt (optional)

*For pumpkin, I uses butternut squash (those from Australia as they have less seed, thus easier to cut into long stick)

Pumpkin Yam Stick (before frying)

METHODS:

1. Peel off skin of the yam and pumpkin. Cut them into long and thin stick.

2. Add salt, egg and plain flour. Give them a good mix with hand.

3. In a non-stick pan, heat up oil.

4. Deep fried until the pumpkin yam stick turns golden.

5. Drip off excess oil and serve hot.

6. Enjoy!

Delicious!
