五香芋丸

The problem with being at home during weekends is that i will be fully occupying the kitchen for the whole day. Whenever Dad walk into the kitchen, he will try to find out wat i'm doing. Oh well, i will rumble through the fridge to see wat ingredients are available for me to prepare any side dish or snacks.
I found 1/2 portion of yam, some tiny bits of minced pork and some water chestnut in the fridge. Thus i decided to create a wu xiang flavour yam balls stuffed with some fillings inside.

Ingredients;
Yam, steamed and mashed
Dashes of wu xiang powder

-After frying for a min, add carrots and fry till soft.
-Add mushroom and minced pork.
-Add the remaining ingredients and some stock, season with salt.
-Set fillings aside to cool.
-For the yam paste, mix all ingredients together, roll into soft dough, den into small balls.
-Flatten yam balls, wrap with fillings.
-Continue until dough finishes.
-Chilled in fridge to set.
-Deep fried in medium hot till golden brown.
-Enjoy!
