Note: a fresh yam has a strong antioxidant, which contains enzyme components, and oxygen contact occurs enzymatic browning, color black, the same phenomenon will occur in potatoes, eggplant, lotus root, apple, banana and other raw materials above. Using metal knife to cut yam will produce oxidation, which can make yam black, so it is best to use bamboo knife or plastic knife when cutting yam. Although the oxidation of slices can be slowed down without using metal knife, the oxidation of cuticle can be accelerated if the blade is not sharp. In other words, the speed of your knife cutting or the amount of friction will form, some black, and some white. Therefore, I suggest that the focus should be shifted to the following steps instead of being too entangled. B soak the cut yam into cold water with vinegar or lemon juice, and then remove the decanting water when cooking, so that the yam will not turn black even if it is not eaten immediately. C pay attention not to add too much vinegar affect the taste, a small amount can play an effect. For example, put a spoonful of white vinegar in a basin of cold water. D yam does not need to be soaked for a long time. After soaking in vinegar water, you can pour out the water, and then use it after two times with clean water. E honey will lose nutrition in case of high temperature, so it can be drenched before eating. F yam has the difference between waxy and crispy. Ask the owner when you buy it. This dish is suitable for the yam of miannuo.
