Yamalama dingdong!

1 Yam
large, peeled,
cut into thick rounds

1 Tbs olive oil

1 Clove garlic
medium sized, chopped

1/2 Shallot
medium sized, chopped

2 Scallions
cut into 1" pieces

Ginger
cut into matchsticks,
dime sized bundle

Chicken broth, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp honey, pinch of salt and a dash of pepper


Boil yam slices in salted water for 8 minutes or until tender, then drain and transfer to plate.

Heat olive oil in the pot, add garlic, shallots, ginger and scallions. While these are cooking I like to add a splash of chicken broth to the pan every now and again to keep the ingredients from burning or sticking to the pan, you can can also use water. Just enough to help the cooking process and it evaporates so that it doesn't become soupy consistency. This allows you to use less oil in your cooking. Cook this over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until ginger sticks are tender. Remove from heat add salt and pepper to taste, stir in sesame oil and honey and spoon mixture over the yams.

I think I might be over figuring out what the nutritional information is for everything as it's sort of a pain. All I will say is this is healthy it's just vegetables with a little bit of healthy fat.
