Steamed Cake with Chinese Yam, Red Dates and Sesame Seeds to Nourish the Spleen


Steamed Cake with Chinese Yam, Red Dates and Sesame Seeds to Nourish the Spleen

The aroma of black sesame blends with the sweetness of red dates. No extra sugar is added, resulting in a light and refreshing flavor with a soft and chewy texture. It's also very nutritious. Chinese yam can strengthen the spleen and stomach, black sesame can nourish the liver and kidneys, and red dates can replenish qi and blood. Combined with the high-quality protein from eggs, it's suitable for both the elderly and children.

Ingredients

Steps

  1. Peel the yam and cut it into small pieces. Be sure to wear gloves! Otherwise your hands will itch terribly. If you accidentally get some on your hands, gently heat them over a flame to relieve the itch.
