This Or Nee (yam paste) puff is quick to make with only few ingredients. It is not time consuming to cook the or nee with purple sweet potato. Just steam them together for about 30 minutes to soften and then mash them up. Then put them into the food processor to blend till fine and then pan fry with sugar and oil for about 10 mininutes. I wrapped the or nee with leftover puff pastry (a fusion of east meets west) that was still sitting in the freezer since I made the Salmon Puff Pastry that I shared the recipe with you two weeks ago. In fact you can also make this Or Nee (yam paste) for the snowskin mooncake too. Anyway, you can pre-make the Or nee puffs and store them in the freezer and bake as and when required or grab to go.
