I call this the 'recipe with legs' because every time I serve it, the recipe is requested. Even those who dislike yams and sweet potatoes love this tasty dish! This dish can be frozen, but freeze it without the pecan topping. Defrost before baking.

CITRUSY TOM YUM CHICKEN STEW WITH YAMS & KALE (SLOW COOKER)
I love tom yum soup- it is probably my favorite soup of all time. There's no way I'd skip ordering it when going to a Thai a restaurant, and I always have a jar of tom yum paste on hand to make my own. While the tom yum paste makes great soups and even stir-frys, I was craving something more substantial so I came up with this. The addition of yams and kale really doesn't taste as strange as it sounds, honest. If you can't find lemongrass or kaffir lime leaves, use the zest from the orange & lime. No Thai chili peppers? Jalapenos make a decent, milder substitute.

Steps:
- Combine the lime juice, orange juice, tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, chili peppers, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce and tom yum paste in a food processor. Pulse once or twice so the mixture resembles a chunky salsa.
- Add this sauce to the slow cooker along with the chicken, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves and water. You may need to break the lemongrass in half for it to fit in the pot- that's fine. Mix lightly, and cover and cook on low for 3 hours.
- After 3 hours, add the yams, nestling them underneath the chicken. Cook for a further 1 1/2 hours.
- Finally, add the kale, basil and cilantro. Increase heat to high and cook for a further 30 minutes, or until the yams and kale are cooked through.
- Stir; remove & discard lemongrass & lime leaves. Serve with or without rice/noodles.

YUM YUM SAUCE
This mayonnaise-based Japanese steakhouse sauce tastes glorious with grilled shrimp, chicken and vegetables, or drizzled over a plate of fried rice. Slather it on a burger, use it as a dipping sauce for fried tofu, French fries and pizza crusts, or even as a salad dressing for crunchy iceberg, romaine or Little Gem lettuce. An all-purpose sauce for everyday pleasure, yum yum sauce should taste balanced with savoriness, sweetness and a touch of acid and gosoham, the Korean word often used to describe the nuttiness of sesame oil. Remember to salt generously so all the flavors can shine.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the garlic powder, paprika and warm water. Add the mayonnaise, ketchup, rice vinegar and sesame oil, and season generously with salt. Stir until smooth.
- Yum yum sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips:
- Choose the right yams: Look for firm, smooth yams with no blemishes or bruises. Avoid any yams that are soft or have signs of sprouting.
- Prick the yams: Before baking, use a fork to prick the yams all over. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from bursting.
- Rub the yams with oil: To get a crispy skin, rub the yams with a little bit of olive oil before baking. You can also sprinkle them with salt and pepper for extra flavor.
- Bake the yams at a high temperature: Bake the yams at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender. This will help them caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Let the yams cool before handling: Once the yams are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before handling. This will help prevent them from breaking apart.
Conclusion:
Yam is a versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you bake them, roast them, or fry them, yams are a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal. With their sweet and earthy flavor, yams are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying side dish, give yams a try!
