Dried Huai Shan 200g

About dried huai shan

Chinese yam, peeled and dried into hard white slices. Almost tasteless on its own and slightly starchy, which is exactly what it is there for - it gives a soup body. This pack is 200 g net. At the quantities below that is about 10 pots of soup. That works out at S$3.40 per 100 g.

Also known as chinese yam, shan yao, wai san, 淮山, dioscorea, dried yam slices.
