Mini Yam Ring (makes 6 mini cutie yam)

Ingredients
135g yam
40g wheat starch 
40g boiling water
25g soft or melted butter (I used Lurpak)
Cooking oil for frying

Seasonings
1/2 five spices powder
1.5 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp chicken powder
Dash of white pepper

Method
1. Steam the yam until cooked and soft. 
2. Use a blender to blend the cooked yam till it turns to a smooth paste (you may want to add a bit of water)
3. Put the wheat starch and the boiling water in a mixing bowl, stir it and combine well to make cooked wheat starch.
2. Mix the butter into the yam paste, add all the seasonings and the cooked wheat starch. Knead and combine it well until there is no more lumps.
3. Wrap it and keep in the fridge for a few hours. 
4. Divide the yam mixture into 6 portions, roll it into a ball and use your thumb to make a well in the center. Shape the yam ring until its smooth all around.
5. Deep fry it in hot oil for a few minutes (medium-low fire) or until it turns brownish. Remove it and drain the oil on the rack. 
6. You may put any cooked ingredients (shrimps, scallops or vegetables) in the yam ring. Serve hot.
