To make pounded yam, you will need to use a flat wooden board and a large pestle. The board should be sturdy and heavy so that it doesn’t move while you pound the yam with your pestle. In some cases, people will pound their yams on the floor in order to get a smoother texture than one would get by pounding them on a flat surface; this takes more effort and time but can also be very satisfying.

Pound the yams until they are soft enough to be smooth but not so soft that they turn into mush or crumble apart when you lift up the pestle after each strike against its surface with your pounding motion (be careful!). This process should take about 25 minutes if you’re doing it right—but if you’re impatient like me, then only about 15 minutes might suffice!
