How to Cook Yam (3 Ways)
  1. 1. Steam Method: Prepare a steamer. Steam the purple yam for 40 minutes.
  2. 2. Oven-Bake Method: Poke a few holes in the yam skin. Bake the purple yam in the oven at 390°F or 200°C for 40 minutes. Bake for 10 more minutes if your yam is thick and round.
  3. 3. Microwave Method: Poke a few holes in the yam skin. Microwave the yam for 10 minutes. Take it out and poke a hole through the yam to see if it is cooked. If it doesn't go through smoothly, microwave for another 5 minutes until the yam is cooked and soft.
How to Make Ube Smoothie
  1. You could remove the skin of the yam if you want. I prefer using the skin too because it has a lot of nutrition. And we will blend it so you won't feel the skin.
  2. In a blender, add all the ingredients. Blend until smooth.
  3. Remove the smoothie from the blender and store it in the fridge to keep it cold. Serve when the smoothie is cold. Enjoy!
