My mum used to make yam cake for our family from scratch and she had taught me to make since I was 12 years old. Here is the recipe from her which I had altered and changed over the years...

Frying The Yam Cake (White Version)

300 gms steamed yam cake -cut into thin slices
4 stalks green onions - chopped finely
2 tbsps cooking oil
Method : -
Firstly cut the steamed yam cake into thin slices and heat up a large frying pan on medium heat. Add some cooking oil and fry the yam cake slices till lightly browned and slightly crispy. Set them aside. Add some cooking oil into the pan and then fry the garlic and shallots till fragrant. Put the radish cake into the pan and then pour the beaten eggs over it. Allow the eggs to set slightly before flipping over in sections. It is ok if it starts breaking up when you flip it over, you don't need it to be perfect. Add some chopped green onions and dish it out to serve immediately.
Frying The Yam Cake (Black Version)

Drizzle some dark sweet soya sauce ( 2 tbsp) over the yam cake after the eggs had set slightly and stir fry to mix well, sprinkle with some chopped green onions.
