Ingredients
  • 1 pound purple yam root, unpeeled
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 (10 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
Instructions
1
Boil a large quantity of water in a massive vessel until it reaches its maximum temperature. Submerge the yam in the boiling water and wait for it to become soft, approximately 30 minutes. Remove from the water with a spoon and let it cool down until it can be easily manipulated.
2
Separate the yam's outer layer and thinly slice its inner flesh.
3
Heat a wok over medium heat, allowing the butter to melt. Introduce condensed milk and vanilla extract into the mixture, stirring until well combined. Add the grated purple yam to the wok and gradually decrease the heat to a low setting, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until the mixture has reached a sticky yet moist consistency, roughly 30 minutes.
4
Gradually pour in evaporated milk and continue stirring for an additional 15 minutes. Remove the wok from heat.
5
Transfer the yam mixture to a container and let it cool down until room temperature, approximately 30 minutes. Refrigerate the mixture before serving.
