- Before you get too agitated and wonder why we placed the yam cake on a newspaper, errr actually that’s a printed cooking sheet from Daiso. Haha. Gotcha!
Steamed Yam Cake or some of you may know yam by the name or taro (therefore this dish is known as taro cake / in Chinese known as 芋头糕) is a Chinese savoury snack. The texture of this dish is rather similar to carrot/radish cake abeit much denser. You can either eat it as is after you've steamed it or pan fry the yam cake after steaming. We especially like to pan fry it because it gives the edges a crispy crunch which is a perfect combination with the kueh kueh and moist texture.
See the ingredient list below for your easy reference. Hope you can recreate this yummy dish in the comfort of your home.
We would like to give special thanks to:

May i ask if you garnished the yam cake with lup cheong or added it to the mixture.
Yeah fried shallots 🧅 topping is a must! Else it's like eating wanton mee without wantans lol😆
Made this today and I have a very happy hubby! Another great proofed recipe from Spice & Pans, simply delicious, my only difference was I added some 5 spice powder and instead of 500ml water, I added chicken stock instead. Thanks being such a great coach and letting us learn new things!

Thank you so much! Happy cooking, Molly!
Wonderful! Thank you for making it so simple & easy. End Results - Great Success & Super Yummy!!! Much thanks! You are an excellent chef!
Yam cake is one of my favorite Chinese snacks. I make both yam and carrot cakes for Chinese new year. I believe it is only in Singapore/Malaysia, this snack item is called yam cake. Elsewhere it is known as taro cake. Similarly, carrot cake is known as turnip/radish or daikon cake outside of Singapore/Malaysia.

Thank You very much for the recipe. Would appreciate if the cooking tray of the Yam Cake is made known. Will try recipe as soon I get the size of the cooking tray. Thank you again.

Hoping you have some other simple and easy to follow chinese recipe
Am trying to have small business in our neighborhood
Like your explanation easy to understand. More power to you
You seems to read my mind. Few days ago I was thinking how I wish you cook this recipe....lol.. here you are, cooking one of my favorite desert, but I never able to cook well for this dish. I am going to use your recipe soon :) thank you !
Thank You so much , I am your Big Fan . Merry Christmas
Very simple recipe to follow. I will definitely make this today.
Awesome recipe and so easy to follow. Thanks!
Love your recipe will try to make it this weekend , thanks for sharing
Thanks so much. Hope you enjoyed it!
Looks fantastic. I love yam cake. Another recipe to try here x
Hi, my yam cake didn’t harden after steam. Last nite the dough was perfect and after steam today it was still soft. I followed your measurements exactly the same. I steam with high heat 40min.
Same here, but don't bother, he doesn't reply
Someone else commented the same, gluey and wouldn't firm up. I had the same issue too and with any recipe calling for rice flour. It seems that the rice flour we have here is extremely starchy... probably from calrose rice unlike the Thai rice.
Try frying till thicken before steaming.
Steam for 45 min to an hour. It is difficult to check whether it is cooked because you may see some liquid on the surface. This is ok as I usually leave it overnight.
I followed your recipe exactly my first attempt turn out perfect, today my 2nd attempt was disaster because the inside was mushy, can you tell me why?
Wow awesome
I plan to make this over the weekend. What can I substitute for chicken stock powder?
Thank a lot😊
Tasty ! Thank you for sharing !
Thank you so much PANS.
Yay, another yummy easy recipe to try. Am a novice cook and your videos have been a great help. Will be making the chicken feet lotus root soup in a bit for its collagen goodness. Really happy I chanced upon your channel.
thanks you a ricipi
Perhaps pour the mixture into a pan lined with baking paper first?
Chef's. That is super yummy 😋.
I love yam cake! CB time, will definitely make it! Can you please show how to fry fish maw, not the soaked version?
My fav ♥️♥️♥️
Good Morning Jamie and Roland, that looks easy, I like that knife Roland used to cut the kueh after it has cool down 😁
Thank you. Today is my 2nd time trying this receipe . Today was better...but it was not salty enough. And a bit dry. Can you share with us how to make the black sweet sauce to go with it ? Thank u so much !
Hihi. You can buy the sweet sauce off the shelf. Branded under Taihua
@@spicenpans ok . Was looking for something like the black sauce for chee cheong fun. :D! Tks for sharing this receipe. It is quite easy to follow. Stay safe !
Very interesting😍looks delicious 👍
Oh ya tomorrow I will do this 😊
I hope you have a video of radish cake.
Roger that. Hope to make one soon too 🙏🙏
I want to try this beautiful recipe 😋
Hope you enjoyed it Rani 🤓🤓🤓
Can Chinese yam be substituted instead of taro? My TCM practitioner wants me to use Chinese yam and I wanted to find a good recipe. This one looks delicious!
Tq for yr recipi. Why my yam cake so soft? Is it becos I steamed it in a 3 tier steamer? Tqvm
I’m guessing that you probably had to fry the flour solution for a bit longer to remove most of the moisture. Another possibility is because is because the steaming time may not be enough. I think probably you used the same timing as me but there are different variables at play here for example, maybe your flame is smaller than mine (in your case, you used a 3 tier steamer) or your steaming tray is made of a thicker material than mine. In order to make sure that your yam cake is sufficiently cooked, you can do a stick test. Dip a skewer into the yam cake. If the stick comes out clean then the yam cake is done. If not, you can steam it for a little longer. For the cake that you have already made, you can try to rest the yam cake in the fridge overnight, this will also help firm up the yam cake. Hope this helps.
hi Chef can you share your radish cake recipe.thanks.i will cook this recipe also thanks for sharing love it.
Radish cake -- that's one of our hawker favourites. Okie. We shall make that soon. Thanks so much for requesting, Ester :))
@@spicenpans Ill be looking forward to it.thank you👍😘😙😉
Hi Ronald... I love yam cakes and I would like to try your yam cake recipe...what is the size of the pan?
Hi Roland I have tried the yam cake but was so soggy n soft n I might add more water in which u show 500 normal water n 500 mushroom water but actually is it 250 ml plain water n 250 mushroom water so total is only 500 ml add to the powder right?
Hi Roland, i want to buy a non stick pan cos my son scratch 2 pans oredi. Can u advise shld i buy non stick pan or honeycomb pan. Which one is easier to use. Current pan use is Meyer. Previous one is Tefal. Thanks for yr advice.
this video is giving me tons of nostalgia.
:-) Glad to know that it did. Happy cooking!
@@spicenpans my family loves making and eating this.
If want to make just plain yam kueh... Is that i just skip other ingredients. And what adjustment should i make like water , flour ...?
Please share on how to make yam paste desert / or nee. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this recipe.i really want to try this!😇
You’re most welcome, Rogieline. Hope you’ll love it. Happy cooking and have a wonderful weekend!
May I use wheat starch instead of tapioca flour? If yes, do I use the same amount as mentioned for the tapioca flour? Tks.
Hi sir i just followed your recipe today but why my yam cake after steam 40mins.still wet. Pls advice i don't want to throw the food can i make hard and dry it in any way?
I think when you fry the batter, it was still wet, you will need to fry until you do not see water and it’s a thick glooey batter before steaming
Thanks for recipe. I like to follow your recipe. For this yam cake, i tried but it didn't set. I do not know why.
Mine too. I had the same issue too and with any recipe calling for rice flour. It seems that the rice flour we have here is extremely starchy... probably from calrose rice unlike the Thai rice.
Is it advisable to use a plastic spatula to stir the rice flour-cornflour while cooking?
Hi Roland I had try a few times of your yam recipe and is yummy.But this time I think I make a mistake add too much tapioca flour and it has became very gluey like ang ku kueh texture. Is there any way to salvage it.
This looks easy enough to make with a few ingredients. I could almost smell the Yam cake.
Will try making a smaller portion of it today in case mine doesn't taste good. I I wouldn't have to torture myself to eat it all. Lol
Thank you and Aloha !!!
Aloha!! Happy cooking! 🤓🤓
@@spicenpans I just cooked it and finished the whole thing. It didnt last long. I dont think it even had time to cool off. Now I wish I made more. Wish I could post a pic to show what a success it was.
Mahalo plenty ! Aloha !
Hi, thanks for sharing and guiding. Confirming total liquid is 1000ML?
Hi Roland, can this yam substitute with radish/turnip? Will it become turnip cake?
Hello yes, very nice and I like the way you present your recipe because you put also in writing so that we not only hear what you say but see also. Thank you really healthy food.
Thank you so much for watching our videos, Cristy. Hope you’ll enjoy this recipe 🤓 have a wonderful weekend!
