A plate of delicious stir fried yam bean with dried squids or “Jiu Hu Char” is a common favourite in a Peranakan household, especially in Penang. Stir fried yam bean or jicama is attractive on its own as it is crunchy and contains a unique combination of vitamins, fiber and minerals. Therefore, what is there to dislike about this dish? Moreover, the actual cooking process did not take too long. This is another reason why Jiu Hu Char is a common dish during Chinese festivals like Chinese New Year, Mooncake Festival or any reunion meal.
Stir Fried Yam Bean with Dried Squids will make you scream for more! As shown in the video, the steps of preparing Jiu Hu Char is pretty easy. Just remember to soak the julienned yam bean to remove the starch or the dish might end up in a gooey mess. Also, you'll need to soak the dried squid strips overnight in room temperature water. If the dried squid strips you bought are much thicker and you would like to ensure that they are soft enough for cooking, here is a tip for you. Just add half a teaspoon of baking soda when soaking the dried squid strips.
As yam bean is rather hard, allow some time for the dish to simmer. If you noticed that there is not enough water in the pan, feel free to add some hot water but give the dish a few stirs before allowing it to continue simmering.
For those who wish to enjoy the dish with some pork belly or minced pork shoulder, you may also add it in when stir frying the aromatics. The flavour of the rendered pork fats would further contribute to the aroma of the dish.
As I had mentioned, this easy Jiu Hu Char recipe is very low in calories. Enjoy it with some fresh lettuce and a few dollops of sambal belacan to tantalize your taste buds and to create a smashing bowl of accompanying spicy sauce. It will be quite an explosion of flavours, I can assure you.

Another fine healthy dish from Nyonya Cooking. 4:52 When Grace Teo says, "Mmmm...oh boy...wow!" We know! :)
Haha...pardon the greedy eating :P
yummy. looks very tasty, best wishes, Tom
Looks tasty! I want some now..... :-(
+BigPanda04 awwwss...you can cook it too!
wow, I've never been this early to a video before. just wanted to say I've been watching your videos for a while now and i like your recipes! continue the good work!
You are really early ;) Thank you for watching. Join the bandwagon by recreating the dishes too!
It would be nice if you show us the packages of the ingredients. So we know how to buy the ingredients st our supermarkets.
I didn't know yam bean, known as jicama in the United States, was used in Southeast Asian cuisines too. I'll definitely try this. Greetings from Singapore.
Yeah, and I didn't know that it was also a mexican vine ;) The usage of yam bean is quite common. You may also want to try this recipe or dish since you are in Singapore: www.nyonyacooking.com/crispy-pastry-tart-with-yam-bean/ ;)
Thanks for posting this! Would this work as a prep meal or would it just turn watery? BTW, I love sengkuang and would eat it raw with/out dips.
My pleasure. Personally, I am not a fan of meal prep :/ But leaving this over night will to turn watery but yam bean would be really soft after reheating. If you really have to, try not to leave this longer than 5 days.
wow! you can get Yam Bean in Germany? we can't get them in the UK
can hardly get them here in Netherlands, they mostly rot very easily/fast :(
I was wondering what yam bean was too, until I read the comments. This vegetable is called singkamas in the Philippines. Love eating the bean part of the plant too 😋
How cool is that. Singakamas sounds like how we call in Malaysia, Sengkuang :D
Nyonya Cooking I notice a lot of things are close in Filipino languages and Malaysian for food. Like we call purple yam ube(in Tagalog) and ubi(in my language Ilocano). I think you have a video called onde-onde and we have a similar dessert called unday-unday in Ilocano. Also our word for fish in Ilocano is ikan. The word for krupuk in Tagalog is kropek. Lol
That is really interesting. I didn't know that there are so many similarities in Malay, Tagalog and IIocano :) Thank you for sharing!
Good morning lovely Grace ! I would say every Chinese new year without fail this delicious Jiu Hu char is a must , the family member favorite...
I be frying 3 to 4 whole Yam bean :-) luckily my arm is strong enough to keep on stirring it... ;-)
Thanks for your lovely sharing and your lovely smile Tata 。。
The Yam used for making spring roll also right?Indonesia Call Bengkuang,its also good for mask,make white your skin.
Yeah, it can be used as popiah filling :) Didn't know that it is called as Bengkuang, learned something! In Malaysia, we call it sengkuang.
Unfortunately we don't have yam bean (jicama) in New Zealand. Is there a good substitute?
+Foon Lam I think radish is a good substitute 🤗
Hey Grace. I have a friend who is allergic to prawns, can I omit the shrimps? Thank you heaps. Oh and you said this dish is a must for sambal belachan. Can my friend have the dish without the sambal belachan?
You mentioned "balachan" I missed that, try to cook something that used balachan too
Sambal belacan :D The recipe is in the description box ^^
Terimakashi!
What kind of dried squid is that ? Usually I would see many (whole) dried squid in the market but not that you were using.
Dried squid which has been already shredded. They are also sold in the market as such. :) If you don't get them, just cut the whole dried squid into strips. That would do the trick!
I like you and you so good
:) Thank you!
