Why is unsulfured Chinese yam not very white?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnsulfured Chinese yam is not sulfur-fumigated or bleached, so its color is closer to its natural state. It may appear off-white, pale yellow, or light brown, which is normal for dried ingredients and does not affect normal soup or porridge use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e3. Should Chinese yam be soaked or cooked directly?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChinese yam can be cooked directly or soaked for 20–30 minutes before cooking.

For lighter soups, pair it with lean pork. For a classic soup blend, pair it with Si Shen Soup ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e5. How much Chinese yam should I use for soup?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor soup serving 2–4 people, use about 20–30 g. For porridge, use about 10–15 g. The amount can be adjusted according to serving size, recipe, and preferred texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e6.
