Yam Pork Ribs

 I like yam very much in what ever way or how its cook. I use to buy yam for cooking as well as baking or made desserts.  Today I bought a big yam and intended to cook pork ribs and the remainder to bake yam cake.  For cooking the port ribs I need ingredients like

300g of pork ribs
200g of yam
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 tsp bean paste
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp of oyster sauce
1tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp of light soy sauce
1 cup of water
dash of pepper
1/2 tsp of corn flour
1tbs cooking oil
oil for frying
a stalk of parsley

Washed and scalded the pork ribs , rinsed and season with the corn flour, light soy sauce and the pepper and leave aside.  Cut the yam into 2 cm cubes. Heat up enough oil to light deep fry the yam cubes, drained.

In a wok, heat up the tablespoon cooking oil, fry the chopped till fragrant, add in the bean paste and mix well. Stir in the seasoned pork ribs , pour in the water, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce and sugar. Bring to a boil.  Turn to low fire and simmer for about half an hour or until the meat is soft.  Add more water when necessary. Finally add in the fried yam cubes and cook for another 5 minutes.  Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with rice.
