The Color Purple Yam Dessert

• 1 purple yam medium-size, 1 pound, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 3/4 cup sweet rice flour also known as "sticky rice flour" or "
• 1/2 cup walnuts raw unsalted, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons goji berries
• 1 tablespoon honey or barley malt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil such as olive or canola

1. Steam (or boil) the pieces of purple yam for about 15 minutes, until soft.
2. Allow the yam to cool for a few minutes, then transfer it into a mixing bowl, and mash it with a fork until smooth.
3. Gradually add the sweet rice flour to the yam, kneading the mixture together with your hands to form a smooth dough. (If the dough starts to get too crumbly, stop adding the rice flour; if you have already overdone it, you can compensate by adding a little water.)
4. Mix together the chopped walnuts, goji berries, and honey (warm the honey first if it is too solid to mix easily).
5. Make a "cup" out of a piece of dough, fill it with the stuffing, and close the dough around it to make a ball.
6. Flatten the ball with the palms of your hands to form it into a 3-inch round pancake shape. (Or improvise your own method for surrounding the filling with dough.)
7. Repeat until the dough and the filling is used up.
8. Heat a skillet over a medium-high heat, add the oil, then cook the pieces until both sides are brown and the center is warm, 5 to 10 minutes. Cook in batches if necessary.
9. Serve warm.
