How to Transform Delicious Yam Soup with Perfect Flavor at Home
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Peel and cut the yams into 4 equal parts, soak in water for about 5 minutes. Rinse once, then drain. Crush and finely chop the dried shallots.
If you've purchased a large pork bone, before making the soup, you'll need to chop the ingredients into small pieces. Blanch the bones in water for 3 minutes, then transfer to a small rack. Slice the tomatoes thinly, rinse the coriander thoroughly, and chop finely.
Step 2: Begin Simmering the Bones
Sauté the dried shallots in a bit of cooking oil until fragrant. Then add the tomatoes and stir-fry evenly a few times.
Stir-fry the bones with the dried shallots, tomatoes, and seasonings, including 1 teaspoon of soup powder, ½ teaspoon of seasoning powder, and ½ teaspoon of fish sauce.
After 5 minutes, pour about 500 ml of water into the pot. Wait for it to boil, then simmer the bones over low heat for 40 minutes. At this point, you can easily detect the fragrant aroma of the ingredients combined with the seasonings.
Step 3: Sautéing the Yam
When the bones start to tenderize, sauté the yams separately with ½ teaspoon of fish sauce for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a small bowl.
Note: You can combine sautéing the yams with the bones, but it's important to simmer the bones first before adding the yams. Therefore, it's best to prepare each ingredient separately.
Step 4: Simmer the Yams
Simmer the bones and yams for an additional 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and add the seasonings, including 1 teaspoon of soup powder and ½ teaspoon of seasoning powder.
Add fresh herbs, and serve the dish in a car-shaped bowl. Place the soup bowl on the dining table along with other dishes for the whole family to enjoy.
