Yam Cream with Ginko Nuts
Since the weather is so gloomy and rainy in the past days, I decided to make this sweet soup (tong shui็ณๆฐด) ~Yam Cream with Ginko Nuts for my family. This recipe was adapted from this book ็ณๆฐดๅฐๅ. It was an easy to follow recipe. This sweet soup was very fragrant with the melt-in-your yam cream and sweet pumpkin. As I’m not a big fan of ginko nuts, I’ll use sago the next time when I make this sweet soup again.
Yam Cream with Ginko Nuts
Ingredients:
300g Yam, peeled and sliced
800ml Water
4 Pandan leaves
100g Ginko nuts, shelled and steam for 20 minutes
200-250g Pumpkin, cut into pieces, steamed for 10 mins or till soft
165g Sugar
11/2 tbsp Potato starch
1/2 cup Water
Methods:
- Boil water, pandan leaves and sliced yam together, until yam becomes soft. Leave to cool and blend with liquidizer till fine and creamy, return to pot, add sugar and stir well to boil again, stir in potato starch water to thicken and add steamed ginko nuts and cooked pumpkin pieces.
- Serve hot immediately.

So simple yet elegant. I have never had ginko nut before. Love you stunning photos as usual!

This reminds me of Malaysia and I really can't recall the last time I had one of these sweet desserts!

Bee, I ever tried in a Teochew restaurant that they serve Or Nee with pumpkin. I thought this is common in serving Or Nee with Pumpkin.
Right Min, have try. Very easy and simple tong sui, your family will love it.
Quay Po~ right, I think Thai yam is the best.
Jeannie, Besides pumpkin you can use sweet potato too.
Ann, lovely photos and beautiful presentation. The tong sui looks tempting too.
@lena
Lena, This is easier to cook than Or Nee, can be ready in 30 mins ๐
@wendyywy @ Table for 2….. or more
No coconut milk is added in this dessert only yam and water with potato starch.
@anne
Anne, I also like to add sweet potato especially in cheng tng.
@Jessie-CookingMoments
Jessie, bo bo cha cha is cook with coconut cream while this is only yam with water that blended together.
Hi Anncoo, seems like I haven't been visiting you for a while but in fact, I did browse your blog sometimes (when I was eating) but just no time to post my message.Here I come to eat your tong shui. How much is the difference between this and bo bo cha cha? It looks just as tasty as bo bo cha cha to me!
It looks wonderful! I had some delicious steamed yam desserts in China, my favorite was topped with sea-buckthorn jelly. I had no idea how to produce anything like that myself, though, so thank you so much for this recipe1 ;0
I am not a fan of gingko nuts too, so I'll omit it if I can find nice yam to buy ๐ This is something different from the usual fare!
I prefer to have it with sago too. Looks good!
Fantastic!! This is one of my fav desserts! ๐ Thanks for sharing!
