Method
1. Sprinkle salt onto nagaimo and potato,
steam them and mash them in a bowl.
2. After squeezing juice from kiwi, combine it with honey,
mashed nagaimo and potato.
Chef Note:
Sweetness from the potato and sourness from the kiwi creates
beautiful, yet curiously strange harmony. It is a very
colorful dish with snow like white and green; a perfect
party dish!
P.S. Nagaimo is a type of mountain yam, or dioscorea -
frequently used in traditional Chinese medicine.
