Soft Yam Fufu (Pounded Yam) - Ndudu by Fafa

Instructions

1. Prepare Yam: Peel the yam carefully using a knife, taking precautions as the juice can irritate the skin. Cut the yam into chunks and wash thoroughly.
2. Blend Yam: Place the yam chunks in a blender with about 250 ml of water. Blend until you achieve a smooth, silky consistency similar to double cream.
3. Prepare for Cooking: Rinse the blender and add the residue water to the blended yam mixture. Mix well to combine.
4. Cook Yam Mixture: Pour the yam mixture into a saucepan and cook on medium heat. Stir constantly to prevent lumps and ensure even cooking. The mixture will thicken and become pliable.
5. Steam Yam Fufu: Once the mixture reaches a thick paste consistency, reduce the heat to low and continue to steam gently for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and lumps.
6. Form Yam Balls: Using a ladle dipped in water, scoop portions of the cooked yam mixture and roll into smooth balls. Cover with cling film to retain heat and serve immediately.
7. Serve: Serve the soft yam fufu with your choice of soup such as goat meat light soup, spinach (bruno bruno) soup, or rare rare soup.
