I made a mistake of trying to substitute Tang Ming flour (wheat starch) with rice flour and also baking the dish instead of deep frying it. Therefore my chicken in crispy yam dish turned out a little bread like instead of crispy and fluffy! Actually, I also don't have Tang Ming flour in stock. Texture aside, the dish actually tasted quite good and have nice yam flavours. So I guess for a better texture, we better stick to Tang Ming flour! LOL!

It's like a huge yam pastry puff filled with chicken. Nice idea.
A very unique chicken dish...the yam pastry sounds like something to die for..
aiks...1st glance thought it was beggar chicken
oh, I like this dish with yam, this recipe is new to me, i still have TM flour, bookmark this, will try soon.
This must be very high class food. I never even have it in Singapore restaurants.
Is it similar to NGOU KOK or yam puffs? This I don't tthink they use the Tang Ming .
Interesting recipe! I only ate yam with pork before, never with chicken. When are you going to make it again with the correct recipe? Because I wanna taste it! :P
Mei teng : Suppose to be like yam pastry.....but made some mistake LOL!
Angie : I love crispy yam pastry
Smallkucing : ha ha, not clay lorr...
Sonia : Please try it, I might miss some steps to make the yam crispy....gotta try cooking it again. LOL!
Ann : Ngau kok/wu ko use Tang Ming flour, that is why it is flaky and crispy....
iamthewitch : Need to try it again to get the texture right....LOL!
This must be something like yam puffs...but instead of small ones, you just made one big one and instead of deep frying, you baked it. Some restaurants here do this with duck - not bad, quite nice.
hmmm interesting recipe. I would, I actually wanted something like a bread with meaty fillings right now. Uahhhh.... cravings!
Interesting recipe. I think it looks good. At least you can have it either way...crispy or cake-like!
this dish looks very unique, Pete.. and i love yam very much..
Yikes! Does not look very appetizing to me. Haha!
i would love to eat some.. :)
