Milky yam beans

Overview

Yam beans are very common now, but when I was a child, we couldn’t see this ingredient in our area. Fortunately, my hometown grew yams at that time, so every season, one of my cousins would always come to my house to visit relatives. Their house grew yams, and he would bring some yams and yam beans to us when he came. Because my dad loves to cook delicious food, in addition to cooking them, he would also make honey yam eggs. In fact, there was no more advanced method at that time, which was to boil the white sugar into syrup, then dip it on the surface, and maybe add starch to make something like snow peanuts. They taste sweet on the outside but soft and waxy on the inside. In those days, it was a super delicious snack for us kids. I can only eat it once a year, but every time I eat it I feel so satisfied! Now we can buy this kind of yam beans at any time here, but my cousin and my father have gone to heaven, and the childhood taste that my father brought me can only remain in my memory. But every time I see yam beans, I think of the honey-made yam beans from my childhood. But I couldn’t remember what my dad did, so I made a modification. I boiled the sugar with light cream to make a toffee-like coating, and used it to wrap the yam beans. This method uses a lot of light cream, and compared with the pure sweetness of my childhood, it has an extra milky aroma, so it tastes pretty good. Although it is not the taste of childhood memories, it can still be regarded as a kind of reminiscence. Recalling the wonderful childhood memories that our dad brought us, we are grateful to our dad for his subtle education in our childhood, so that when we grow up, we will be full of love for life and have a positive attitude towards life, so that we can have a happy life!
