Long yam, also commonly called "Yam", is a native product of my hometown, Shanxi, and long yam is generally used for cooking. Cooking dishes include yam sparerib soup, yam lotus seed porridge, yam pumpkin porridge, red bean yam porridge and so on. Fried dishes include sea buckthorn long yam, auricularia long yam, shredded yam, fried yam, etc. Some are steamed directly and eaten with dipping sauce. Yam can be cooked with many foods, whether boiled or fried.
