Instructions

Prepare the Yam

Wash the Chinese yam, steam it until cooked through, peel it, and mash it into a smooth paste.

Cook and Shape

Wash the agar, place it in an aluminum pot, add the water and sugar, and bring it to a gentle boil until the agar has fully dissolved. Strain the liquid and return it to the pot, then stir in the yam paste. Bring the mixture back to a boil and pour it into an enameled tray to set.

Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator until fully chilled and firm. To serve, cut into diamond-shaped pieces and arrange on a plate. Top each piece with one green plum and one red cherry for garnish.
