Braised Chestnuts and Yam
This delicious Yam and Chestnut Stir-Fry is a comforting and flavorful dish that combines tender yam pieces with sweet, nutty chestnuts in a rich, savory sauce. The yam is first fried to a golden hue for a slightly crispy texture, then simmered with aromatic scallions, ginger, and garlic for depth of flavor. The chestnuts add a natural sweetness, while soy sauce, cooking wine, and a blend of spices create a perfectly balanced umami sauce. Simmered until the yam absorbs all the delicious flavors and the sauce thickens, this dish is a hearty and satisfying choice for any meal. Easy to prepare yet full of complex tastes, it’s a must-try for lovers of wholesome, home-cooked comfort food.
