Preparation

First cut the yam into medium sliced pieces as i have shown in the picture. Take a kadai , heat oil to fry the yam. Fry the yam pieces (not so crispy) and keep it aside. While frying, (take half a cup of water, mix 2 tbsp salt to it and stir well) sprinkle the water to it so that you will get a salty taste to the yam.

For marinade, place peppercorns in a small kadai, cook over medium-low heat, shaking the kadai frequently about 2 minutes. Let it cool. Crush the peppercorns well.

Transfer crushed pepper to a medium bowl. Add corn flour, 2 tsp soya sauce 1 tsp water and 1 and 1/2 tsp vegetable oil, mix well .

Add to marinade the fried yam, stir to coat well. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Combine remaining 2 tsp soya sauce,2 tsp lemon juice, sugar in a small bowl and mix well.

Now heat remaining 6 tsp vegetable oil in a kadai over high heat. Add the minced garlic and the yam mixture. Stir-fry about 2 minutes. Add onion,stir-fry 1 minute, add spring onions, stir-fry 30 seconds.

Add soya,lemon juice and sugar mixture to it. Cook and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in sesame oil. 

Its sooooooo yummy !!!!!!  You can have it with any rice or just eat it :-P

You can try this recipe with chicken or pork shreds too but instead of frying, pressure cook them with salt..

One more thing ! If you wish you can double the quantity of  the mixtures.

I hate pork...
             Hmm...going to try this with chicken :-)
