I’m looking at making some roasted purple yams that I tried at an asian supermarket, I was wondering how they were so chewy and delicious. Do they normally have additives, like some kind of marinade or something that make them so tasty, or are they just naturally that good with standard roasting?

    You might be thinking about ube. It’s pretty flavorful, sweet and starchy on it’s own

    I doubt there’s any sort of additives, but it’s also hard to guess how they were prepared without more info.

    Have a link to the menu?

      Unfortunately not, its just in a metal heating element at the supermarket, h-mart specifically.
