The specific situation of steamed yam still depends on the size and condition of yam. Pieces of yam are easy to mature, about 8 minutes is enough. Thick yam can be steamed for a while, about 15 minutes, while for yam segments, it is best to steam for about 20 minutes. If you use a pressure cooker, the speed will be faster, with 5 minutes in pieces and 0/0 minutes in thick pieces.

The most convenient way to judge that yam is steamed is to poke it with chopsticks. Yam contains a lot of starch, so it will become soft after maturity, and it will be cooked if chopsticks poke it without hardness.
