Notes
- Use the larger variety of yam/taro, rather than the smaller ones. Larger variety of yam are more flavourful and have a unique flaky texture. Smaller yam tend to be a bit slimy so best to avoid to cook this dish.
- Lightly fry the slices of yam before cooking to ensure they keep in shape during braising with pork ribs.
- The pork ribs should be fully submerged in the liquid at the beginning and the sauce should reduce slightly but the braised pork ribs should still look a little soupy after simmering so add more water if needed.
- Make sure there is enough water for yam to cook through as the yam absorbs a lot of water.
