Yam pork congee recipe
In the past, yam, like sweet potato and tapioca, is considered a working class vegetable. It is added to congee or rice to supplement it as rice can be more expensive especially in times of drought.
Later, it was discovered that yam has complex carbohydrates and good trace minerals. That is, good for health. Now, its status has been somewhat elevated.
Fry the yam to keep it intact when it is added to the congee. It also makes it crispier and imparts a smoky flavour.
