JICAMA


In Chinese, we call this vegetable Sar Kot and in Malay it is sengkuang.  The English name for it is Jicama (Pronounced: HEE-kah-mah) or Yam Bean.  It is an ingredient for popiah and rojak.  It is also delicious when served raw and eaten with a sauce.
Lai Yoong told me that jicama is added to soup to make it sweeter.  She watched a cooking programme on Astro and learned the tip from it.
